Jardin Raymond VI, Urban park near Musée des Abattoirs, Toulouse, France
Jardin Raymond VI is an urban park along the Garonne River featuring pink brick walls, open lawns, and a footbridge hovering 2 meters (6 ft) above the water. The grounds contain children's play areas, seating, a carousel, a small café, and a dedicated section displaying medicinal plants with information boards.
The garden was created in 1998 and preserves sections of ancient Roman walls dating to the 2nd or 3rd century within its landscaping. This integration shows how the park maintained the site's long history while creating a modern public space.
The garden sits next to the Museum of Modern Art and hosts photography exhibitions that visitors can enjoy while walking through. This combination makes it a place where art and nature come together, inviting people to experience both at the same time.
The park includes amenities for various needs and offers different areas to explore and rest throughout the grounds. Visit on warmer days to enjoy the lawns and water features, or come on cooler days for a more comfortable stroll through the green spaces.
The park displays a collection of medicinal plants with informational plaques explaining their traditional remedies and uses. This educational feature is uncommon in urban parks and offers visitors hands-on insight into historical plant-based treatments.
