Nouvelle-Aquitaine

The park was built around 1880 by the landscaper Louis Le Breton, for the banker Jean Gustave Piganeau. It revolves around a four-hectare artificial body of water whose cuttings are used to model the surrounding reliefs. A cement rock cave of more than 1,000 sqm overlooks this water mirror. It hosts a set of passages and cool rooms, one of which has a mosaic. Another room opens onto the lake and serves as a pier, while a last one preserves the sites of old aquariums. Crowning the whole, a gallery extended by a walkway leads to a Belvedere decorated with mosaics and decorated with benches to enjoy the point of view. Artificial caves have been known since Antiquity and are updated in the Renaissance. Today, they are still present, as in Kerdalo (Cotes-d’Armor), or in the Royal Gardens of Herrenhäusen (Hanover – Germany), created by Niki de Saint-Phalle. This park illustrates the know-how of architects, water engineers, but also craftsmen of the late 19th century.
