The Jardins des Prebendes d'Oe is a landscaped public garden in the city of Tours that resembles the 19th century French landscape styles. The major features of the garden are as follows:

• Created in the year 1872 by the famous architect Eugene Buhler.
• Covers an area of 4.5 hectares.
• A diverse range of trees and plants are planted all over its area with a myriad of flowers presenting a colourful foliage.
• A monumental gate at the entrance to the garden.
• Busts and statues of various famous personalities who have helped in shaping the history of the Tours city are placed all throughout the garden.
• A rustic gazebo as well as a stunning pond.
• A separate playground for children.
• Surrounded by beautiful buildings belonging to older residential areas of the city that had not been destroyed during the WWII.

Often referred to as the English Garden, the park is home to a large number of ducks and is also used to organise a number of specific events. Thus, the Jardins des Prebendes d'Oe is an excellent place for people to take walks or relax and read a book.
