Parc des Tanneurs

Gently sloping down to the banks of the river Vilaine, Tanneurs park, open to the public, is situated in the green corridor which stretches from the city centre to the lush green Saint-Martin meadows. Some 90 trees, including large chestnuts and redwoods, tower over the paths of this English-style garden. Standing above the park is a late-19th-century villa, which belonged to families of tanners for several generations. The villa was acquired by Rennes City Council in 1999 and is now home to a European institution, the Conference of Peripheral Maritime Regions (CPMR).
