Jardin du Bout-du-Monde
Jardin du Bout-du-Monde is an urban park positioned on a natural slope above the Mayenne River, with pathways and planted areas that connect different sections together. The grounds feature seating areas, open green spaces, and a play area for children.
The park was created in 1732 and reflects how public green spaces developed in the Pays de la Loire region through the centuries. Its continued care shows the city's long commitment to maintaining this location.
The name refers to an old concept of the world's end, and locals use this space as a place to connect with nature. Visitors can observe how plant life shifts with the seasons throughout the grounds.
The park is easy to walk through with paths throughout and many places to rest along the way. Comfortable shoes are a good idea since the slope is steep in some areas.
The location on a natural cliff edge offers changing views of the Mayenne depending on the season and time of day. The river takes on different appearance with changing light, especially around sunset.
