Parc du Thabor

Thabor Park (Parc du Thabor, Breton: Liorzhoù-kêr an Thabor), located in Rennes near the city center, is a public park built on over ten hectares. It has a mix of the characteristics of a French garden, an English garden and a large botanical garden. Its name refers to a mountain overlooking Lake Tiberias in Israel, Mount Tabor. A place of public walk before the French Revolution, the park was highlighted between 1866 and 1868 by the contributions of Denis Bühler by arrangement of various points in the lawn, the French gardens and the English gardens. At the beginning of the 20th century, the southern part of the park, called "the Catherinettes", was arranged in extension of the English garden.
