The Prefecture Gardens is the largest public park in Vannes. Situated just outside the old city walls, the vast green area has for many years been one of the most popular places for local people and visitors to escape the busy streets and relax in the pastoral splendour. There are a series of well groomed flowerbeds and walkways that lead you through the gardens as well as a selection of large grass lawns that people like to relax on in the summer sun.
