Parc des Oblates, Public park in Chantenay-Sainte-Anne district, Nantes, France.
Parc des Oblates is a park in Nantes built across a sloped hillside with multiple levels, offering views toward the Loire River. The grounds feature varied plants and trees at each level, creating a continuous green space from top to bottom.
The park opened in 2013 as the 100th park created in Nantes. It was built on the site of a former convent garden that sat near the Loire River.
The park displays contemporary art installations from the Le Voyage à Nantes festival, letting visitors encounter works in the open air. These pieces rotate regularly and connect the green space to current artistic trends.
The park has different opening times depending on the season, staying open longer during summer months and closing earlier in winter. Visitors should plan their arrival based on the time of year to have adequate time for exploring.
A flock of Belle-Île sheep tends to the meadows in the lower section and helps maintain the grass naturally throughout the year. These animals are part of the park and can be seen during a visit.
