Parc municipal Rocheteau
The history of the park is strongly linked to that of the Faure family who owned it. Today, Rocheteau Park offers you a real haven of peace and a feast for the eyes: walking area, playground for children, tennis court. FREE ENTRANCE.
Mini golf within the park.
In 1962, the Faure company was taken over by Arthur Martin, who sold the park to the town of Revin in 1972.
The park is baptized with the name of the Mayor who was at the origin of this acquisition.
Note the unusual presence of a “Ginkgo Biloba” nicknamed the tree of 40 crowns. It would be among the oldest and most beautiful in France.
Around 150 years old, the anonymous gardener who planted it cannot enjoy the grandiose spectacle that this tree gives each autumn.

Good to know :
At the end of the 18th century, very structured and geometric gardens, called "French-style" gardens, were no longer fashionable.
We prefer wilder gardens, also called picturesque parks.
The adjective picturesque means “worthy of painting.” Used between 1760 and 1914, it was first applied to literary texts, paintings or landscapes which appear both beautiful and frightening.
The term landscaper will first designate a landscape painter before applying to a park designer.
As a painter would do in his studio, the gardens of this period are imagined as a succession of nature paintings where the walker is free to stroll as they wish.
Plant essences are chosen to give a natural impression.
The shapes and colors are varied to create surprise effects.
Rocheteau Park is a good example.
