Discover more about Park Bréquigny

Park Bréquigny, situated in the southwestern part of Rennes, is a sprawling 20-hectare park created between 1969 and 1980. Built on the former estate of the Bréquigny castle, the park was designed as a space for relaxation, recreation, and community engagement. The park boasts a diverse landscape, featuring large lawns perfect for picnics, playgrounds for children, and fitness areas for adults. The Blosne River meanders through the park, creating a marsh area that adds to the park's natural charm. This wetland area is home to various bird species and other wildlife, offering opportunities for nature observation. Visitors can explore the park's botanical richness along wide, sandy paths that wind through grassy mounds, where mature trees like maple, hornbeam and nearly century-old oaks stand alongside chestnut trees, birches and sequoias. One of the park's unique features is a contemporary artwork by the Egyptian artist Ghada Amer, titled "Il était une fois dans un pays lointain" (Once upon a time in a faraway land), which serves as a trellis for climbing roses. The park also includes a paddling pool, rest areas and designated dog area. Park Bréquigny provides a variety of activities and attractions, making it a popular destination for families, joggers, cyclists, and anyone seeking a peaceful retreat in Rennes. The park is open 24 hours a day and accessible via multiple entrances. Throughout the year, Park Bréquigny hosts various events, including outdoor film screenings.
