Prairies Saint-Martin, Public park in northern Rennes, France
The Saint-Martin meadows span 30 hectares between the Ille-et-Rance canal and a natural branch of the Ille river near the city center.
The area remained undeveloped due to its flood-prone nature, leading to its transformation into an ecological park project that began construction in 2017.
The park includes observation points, picnic areas, a petanque court, and a kiosk, serving as a venue for outdoor performances and exhibitions.
Highland cattle graze in designated areas of the park, maintaining the wet meadows while visitors can explore the walking paths and children's play areas.
Scientists from CNRS maintain an urban ecology observatory in the park to study local wildlife and monitor long-term environmental changes.
