Jardin Massey, 19th-century garden in Tarbes, France.
The 13-hectare garden contains 3800 shrubs and 1370 trees, including centuries-old Lebanon cedars and American sweetgum specimens arranged in circular patterns.
Placide Massey, head gardener of Versailles Palace and King Louis Philippe I, created this garden in 1825 and later donated it to the city of Tarbes.
The garden houses the Massey Museum, which contains the International Hussars Museum and a collection of artworks from the 15th to 20th centuries.
The garden features walking paths, a children's playground, a maze, a refreshment bar, and numerous benches distributed throughout the landscaped grounds.
A Gothic cloister with 40 arches, relocated from Saint-Sever-de-Rustan abbey in 1890, stands among peacocks that roam freely through the grounds.
