Jardin d'Orsay, Public garden in Limoges, France

The Jardin d'Orsay is a public garden of about 1.8 hectares in Limoges, west of the city centre, between the place des Carmes, the place Winston Churchill and the courthouse. It lies on the site of the vanished Gallo-Roman amphitheatre of Augustoritum. A hexagonal gazebo with six dark green cast-iron columns, openwork iron scrolls and eight white spherical lamps stands on a pale stone base of three shallow steps.

The site occupies part of the vanished Gallo-Roman amphitheatre of Augustoritum. In the 18th century the intendant Boucher d'Orsay buried much of it and laid out a public promenade that took his name. Part of the amphitheatre's foundations remains visible near the south entrance of the park.

Locals call the garden "le JDO", a nickname used by pupils of the nearby lycées Turgot, Limosin and Valadon who come here. In summer it hosts cultural events, among them folk music shows and an urban music festival. A stele honours Camille Vardelle, killed in the workers' events of 1905.

Accessible pathways connect the major areas throughout the garden, making it easy to navigate the space on foot. Visitors of all mobility levels can move freely between the different sections and reach the central pavilion without difficulty.

The hexagonal bandstand in the garden was moved here from the Champ de Juillet during the late 19th-century redesign. Its six dark green cast-iron columns carry openwork scrolls and eight spherical white lamps, and the stone plinth bears graffiti such as "SARAH & CHLOE".
