Parc Oberthür

In the heart of the city, the Parc Oberthur, named after its founder, François-Charles Oberthur, was designed by the famous landscape architect Denis Buhler, who would go on to design the Thabor, located in the same district. Created in 1863-1864, the park, initially reserved for the exclusive use of the Oberthur family, became the property of the city of Rennes in 1960, and has been open to the public since 1977. Alleys, a pond with landscaped banks, architectural features, a rest area, accessible lawns and groves of trees combine harmoniously to make this a remarkable place for strolling. The Parc Oberthur is of great botanical interest. Open daily from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm or 8:00 pm depending on the season.
