Jardin Alexandre Ier, Public garden in central Toulon, France.
The Jardin Alexandre Ier is a public garden in central Toulon that spreads over a large area with diverse plantings. It features numerous trees, Mediterranean plants, and water features including ponds and decorative water channels throughout the grounds.
The garden was created in 1852 after the city acquired the land from the French Navy. Before becoming a public space, the site had served agricultural purposes for the royal court.
The garden takes its name from King Alexander I of Yugoslavia, who visited the city in the 1930s. This naming choice reflects a moment when Toulon looked beyond its borders to honor international connections.
The garden is open daily to visitors at no charge, with extended hours during summer months. The spacious layout makes it easy to walk through and find quiet areas for relaxation.
The garden contains a reconstructed doorway from an old church that was carefully relocated stone by stone during the 1870s. This architectural salvage represents an unusual effort to preserve a piece of religious heritage in a secular setting.
