A place of public walk before the French Revolution, the park was highlighted between 1866 and 1868 by the contributions of Denis Bühler[3] by arrangement of various points in the lawn, the French gardens and the English gardens. At the beginning of the 20th century, the southern part of the park, called "the Catherinettes", was arranged in extension of the English garden.[4]
