The most beautiful parks and gardens Sarthe

Located on the Louis-Blanc quay and renovated fairly recently, this square will give you the desire to hum When you walk on the water, of course. If it is only one would like to see revivre, which no longer exist for a long time. Finally, we do not have to complain, we have the magical decor of the Gallo-Roman enclosure and one can sit quietly for chatting or admire the landscape, between the flowers of flowers and plants, or even watch Couler, peacefully.

This Arena-shaped park, created in 2002, is located at the location of the former Chanzy military barracks (built at the end of the 117 th century), which housed the 104 ^th and ^th Infantry Regiment. There are four entrances to access. A variety of plantations blend with lush vegetation. A large waterfall echoes a multitude of alternative water jets that are trapped by children in summer. A beautiful rose garden attracts hikers and small, artificial hills. A playground and a covered place for artistic exhibitions are also present… all the different atmospheres within this contemporary park make it a place of unique charm.

Located near the city centre and South station, this small urban park is the most recent of the city since its construction dates back to 2008. It owes its name to the fact that it connects the two banks of the Sarthe, between the two arms of that river. An amphitheatre and a playground have been set up. A large grassland, below, serves as a spillway in the event of flooding. The construction project would not have been created without the determination of the members of the association of the Island aux Planches. The land belonged to EDF, and their wish was to cede it to promoters for a real estate project (two columns, at the entrance to the park, evoke EDF and SFM).

This park offers the opportunity to play with a ball, or ping-pong, on several tables, and benches. Acacias, maple trees and fir trees are pleasant. The entrance takes place via Alexandre-Dumas street.

Forced passage of a walk in the City Plantagenet, from the cathedral to the Grande street: a few benches will allow you to take a break. It could also be your rallying point, shaded in summer or sheltered from a tree when it rains. Go to the Red Pillar. Local craft markets or regional products take place from time to time, starting in the spring. Located above the "tunnel", you can see far and discover neighborhoods, buildings and the extent of part of the city.

A meadow and two small wood. The benches are welcome: they allow to rest at the expense of high heat days. The entrance takes place on the streets of L'Fan, Emile-Augier and Alfred-de-Vigny.

Accessible by the place des Des or by the avenue Paderborn. It is located in the city centre and bears the name of the museum it surrounds. It is an English park, with its basin, its red fish, and the boats that remain stuck in the middle. Children's playgrounds are set halfway between the park and the museum. In short, this garden is ideally located, for a picnic before you grow, or meditate after your passage to the Art Gallery of the city… Last activity possible: admire the giant hourglass of Jean-Bernard Loic, even if the sand does not sink.

This wood could be seen as an introduction to the Nature Ark. If you do not have the direction of orientation and are afraid to lose, this wood is a good compromise. It is located at the corner of Rue Henri-Champion and Plane Avenue. The best thing is to enjoy this space for picnic on one of the four tables made available. If you want to stretch your legs, go a little further, to the Nature Ark.

You can reach the. street, rue des Terrasses, rue Banjan or rue des Mallets. Before its creation in 1976, this hillside was planted with apple trees and vineyards that produced wine. Today it is a vast park with many playgrounds spread everywhere (slides, turnstiles), ponds, many trees (plane, trees, oaks), bois, a small stream and large grass spaces. Beware! It is located between two hills, and for a jog you need a little calf!

Garden profiles on the terrace decorated with a th century basin but also a colombier to coo next spring. The grounds of the town hall are the construction of a monastery. There are numerous collections of trees, but also of shrubs, as well as local essences and varieties of ancient roses. A real pleasure 30 min from Le Mans.

The Grand Lucé estate is one of the largest estates in the Pays de la Loire. If the 18th century castle, which has become a superb luxury hotel, can no longer be visited, the 30-hectare park with its French gardens, exotic garden, vegetable garden, forest, pond and meadow could soon be reopened to the public, following the direction given to the project by the American owner. The site is currently available for rent for the organization of private events.

From day to day, a good book to sit down on the benches made available along the walls of the city's gardeners to make horticultural marvels. An enchanting setting recently refurbished in the part bordering the Sarthe on the other side of the Louis Blanc wharf. In the evening, come and walk here in summer, to witness the spectacle of Chimères night and sit on a wall, facing the enclosure. Charm will certainly operate. Then go to the cathedral…
