My recent solo trip to Toulouse was splendid. I walked about 25 km — somewhat unintentionally since I couldn’t find the bus stops for the free shuttle. I took advantage of the sunshine and visited the city’s wonderful gardens.
Jardin Royal
Located just 1 km from the Capitole, Jardin Royal is a serene oasis containing old, exotic species of plants.

Jardin des Plantes
Unfortunately, my visit to Jardin des Plantes had to be quick or I would have been late meeting my cousin for lunch. This is the oldest public park in Toulouse dating back to the French Revolution. The garden has more than 100 species of trees and is located next door to the new Natural History Museum, which will be at the top of my to-do list the next time I visit.

Jardin Japonais
Located within Compans Caffarelli, this tranquil spot was the perfect finale for
ma petite visite à la Ville Rose.
