Jardin Compans Caffarelli

Jardin Compans Caffarelli is a 7-hectare public garden in Toulouse featuring a large water basin, walking paths, and planted areas. The space includes open lawns for activities and multiple themed garden zones for visitors to explore.

The garden opened in 1983 on the site of former military barracks through an urban development initiative. This transformation from military use to public green space marked an important renewal of the city.

The Japanese garden section with its red bridge and tea pavilion reflects international influences woven into the site. Visitors can experience how this distinct zone brings a different aesthetic and purpose to the overall space.

The grounds are accessible daily with free entry, making it a convenient spot for daytime visits. Wide paths make it easy to walk around, and benches throughout the space offer places to rest.

The garden displays sculptures honoring sister cities, including a phoenix for Atlanta and works celebrating international bonds. These monuments are scattered throughout and tell stories of global partnerships.
