Jardin Alexandre Ier, Public garden in central Toulon, France.
The garden extends across 20,000 square meters, featuring 350 trees, 5,000 Mediterranean plants, and 350 aquatic plants along water staircases and ponds.
Established in 1852 after the city purchased the land from the French Navy, this garden previously supplied flowers and fruits to the Palace of Versailles.
The garden received its current name in honor of King Alexander I of Yugoslavia, who visited Toulon before his assassination in Marseille in 1934.
The garden operates daily from 9 AM to 9 PM during July and August, and from 9 AM to 7 PM between September and June with free admission.
The garden contains a reconstructed door from the Notre-Dame de Courtine church of Six-Fours, carefully relocated stone by stone in 1876.

The port city of Toulon on the French Mediterranean coast offers numerous subjects for photographers. The historic city centre displays buildings from the 17th and 18th centuries, including the Sainte-Marie-Majeure Cathedral and the town hall with its atlantes by Pierre Puget. The military harbour, one of France's main naval bases, presents warships and submarines. Mont Faron rises 584 metres above the city and provides views across the Toulon roadstead and coastline. The cable car leads to the summit, where the Memorial du débarquement en Provence is located. At the foot of the mountain lies the Mourillon district with its sandy beach and colourful facades along the promenade. The Cours Lafayette market takes place daily and showcases the region's Mediterranean produce. The Toulon Opera House, built in the 19th century, ranks among the largest opera houses in France outside Paris. The old harbour Darse Vieille displays fishing boats and yachts against the backdrop of limestone cliffs.
