The Royal Garden of Toulouse is a French style public garden in front of the Jardin des Plantes. Created by Louis de Mondran in 1754, it was the first public garden in Toulouse transformed into an English garden in the 19th century.

It features many well planted mixed borders and garden beds featuring rich arrays of summer annuals and perennials throughout the season. 

These are complemented with a good use of water with fountains and ponds providing support for plenty of wildlife.

Many species of trees such as ginkgo biloba, hackberry, cedars of Lebanon, tulip tree of Virginia, orange tree of the Osages and many magnolias confirm this garden's status among the "Jardin remarkables de France".

This haven of greenery is decorated with numerous statues including the one in honor of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry and his literary creation 'The Little Prince'.

Walk from one garden to another by taking the footbridges that connect them and experience gloriously colourful nature right in the heart of the city!

This may not rank amongst the biggest 'Gardens of the World' but it is still a delight to visit and is clearly lovingly cared for by a team of skilled horticulturalists.
