Review:
Located in the heart of Rennes, on its highest hill, the Thabor Park (Parc du Thabor) is one of the most beautiful parks in France. For a long time the garden belonged to the monks of Saint-Melaine Benedictine Abbey, and there was time when only men were allowed to visit it. The garden was redesigned in 1866 by the famous Parisian landscape designer Denis Bühler and its ten magnificent acres were divided into French-style garden, an English park, a bandstand, a cave, several ponds, many beautiful statues, old rare trees, an aviary, an area named L’Enfer (hell) and a magnificent rose garden with 2000 varieties of roses.
