Château de Bonnefontaine

Parc du château de Bonnefontaine

 

The construction of the chateau de Bonnefontaine cames back to the 15th century, on the command of the chamberlain of the duchess Anne de Bretagne. Extended in the 19th century in a romantic spirit, a large English park has been converted by Denis and Eugène Bülker, also at the origin of the Jardins du Thabor (in Rennes).

 

Stroll around in these wide natural spaces, with large horizons and plantations and groves in successifs plans. Many species planted at the creation of the park are always here : redwoods, bald cypresses, yew trees, magnolias but also fuschias, hydrangeas, and other rhododendrons.

Our advice

Take a time to discover the tree of the Duchess Anne of Brittany ! This curious stump of a chesnut tree is telled to be the tree under which Anne would sat one day. Unfortunately, it did’nt resist a storm in 1987, but was kept and sport a plaque reminding its story.
