The Jardin du Val Nançon stretches picturesquely along the Nançon River, framing the northern city walls of Fougères with lush greenery. Covering approximately two hectares, various themed areas invite exploration. This includes a botanical garden, the "Priest's Garden," a reference to the remains of an ancient abbey, a so-called "plant cage," and a colorfully landscaped slope. Of particular note is the contemporary glass art sculpture "L'œuvre à la vie" by Louis-Marie Catta from 2000, which represents peace and dialogue between cultures.

The beautiful stained glass windows are definitely worth seeing. The three-panel stained glass window above the south portal is the only completely preserved window from the time the church was built. It depicts Jesus' entry into Jerusalem and is marked with the year 1537. Fragments of older panes have been preserved in two other windows. In the tracery of one window, a crucifixion scene from around 1500 can be seen. On another pane, a section of an Annunciation scene, which was probably executed in 1473, the Archangel Gabriel is depicted.
