Jardin japonais de Toulouse, Japanese botanical garden in Compans-Caffarelli district, Toulouse, France.
The Pierre Baudis Japanese Garden spans 7000 square meters within the larger Compans-Caffarelli Park, featuring water elements, stone arrangements, and carefully trimmed trees.
Created in 1981 by Mayor Pierre Baudis, the garden transformed former military grounds into a green space inspired by gardens from Kyoto's Muromachi period.
The garden incorporates traditional Japanese design elements including a tea pavilion, red wooden bridge, dry waterfall, and symbolic stones representing the Three Saints.
The garden opens daily from 8:00 AM with varying closing times between 6:00 PM and 9:00 PM depending on season, offering free admission to all visitors.
The garden received the Notable Garden label for its botanical collection, which includes Eastern plant varieties uncommon in southern French cities.
