Parc de Blossac, French garden in Poitiers, France.
Parc de Blossac is a garden park in Poitiers featuring French-style sections with geometric patterns and English-style landscape areas spread across an elevated terrace. The grounds include water features, a bandstand, and sculptures distributed throughout multiple zones.
Count de Blossac initiated the park's creation around 1750 as part of broader plans to improve and develop Poitiers. The transformation formed part of a wide-ranging effort to modernize the city.
The park features a bandstand and water features that shape how people spend their time in the open air. Sculptures placed throughout honor local figures and create gathering spots for visitors from the city.
The park is accessible from several entry points, including access from Place de l'Appel du 18 juin 1940 and rue Léopold Thézard. Facilities for visitors with reduced mobility are available at the different entrances.
A small section of the park houses chickens, rabbits, and Ouessant sheep that graze in areas difficult to reach by visitors. These animals are an integral part of how the grounds are maintained.
