I'm not sure what the term is in English, I don't think either of the first two answers is right. This term seems to describe a landscaped area (that may even have formerly been industrial) with walking trails, etc.

See the two url references below.

disagree David Goward : No, the "Vendéopôles" are newly created industrial parks set up to attract companies to Vendée. They have a lot of grass, trees, bushes, etc. hence the "paysager" bit!

Are these parks for the practice of landscape design or are they s designed according to landscape design rules?

You're right David, it's the second meaning.
Peer comment(s):

disagree David Goward : There are all types of activity in these industrial parks. The "paysager" / "landscaped" bit means that there's plenty of grass and trees about!//See http://www.vendee.fr/Dossiers/dss_show.asp?dss_id=12
