Park of the Chateau de Bonnefontaine
The very elegant château of Bonnefontaine is surrounded by a wide English park of 25 hectares, with romantic influences, composed by the famous landscapers Denis Bülher and Édouard André.
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.
