Nestled in the heart of Toulouse’s Compans‑Caffarelli district, this 10‑hectare park blends urban vibrancy with serene landscapes. Created in the 1980s on the site of former military barracks, the garden is best known for its enchanting Japanese Garden, complete with a red bridge, tea pavilion, and dragon sculpture that evoke a sense of Zen calm. Beyond this oasis, visitors enjoy wide lawns, shaded paths, and a large pond perfect for picnics or quiet reflection. The park also celebrates Toulouse’s international ties, with monuments honoring twin cities such as Elche, Kiev, and Atlanta. A favorite among families, locals, and travelers alike, Jardin Compans‑Caffarelli offers both cultural symbolism and natural beauty, making it one of the city’s most inviting green spaces.
