Created in 1859, this public garden of 2.6 hectares is the work of the Bühler brothers, creators of the Parc de la Tête d'Or in Lyon and the Thabor in Rennes. The most spectacular element of this garden is a "weeping beech", classified as a natural monument since 1932 and labeled "remarkable tree of France" since 2000.
