Parc de la prairie des Filtres, Urban park along Garonne River in Toulouse, France.
The Prairie des Filtres extends from Pont Neuf to Pont Saint-Michel, providing extensive green spaces along the riverbank with views of pink brick buildings.
The area transformed from a marshy island to a filtration site in 1821, when galleries were constructed to purify Garonne water for Toulouse fountains.
The park hosts the Rio Loco music festival each summer, transforming into Toulouse Plage with temporary sand installations and outdoor entertainment.
Located at Cours Dillon, the park remains open daily and offers convenient access through multiple public transportation options including metro and tram stations.
A water skiing club operates from a barge on the river, adding an unexpected sporting element to this central urban green space.

Toulouse presents a network of historical buildings, museums and squares. The city features the Capitole as administrative center, the Romanesque Basilica Saint-Sernin, several art museums and the Canal du Midi. Parks, bridges across the Garonne and science centers complete the cultural offerings.
Toulouse offers numerous locations for photography beyond its main attractions. The Renaissance courtyards of Hôtel d'Assézat, the gardens of Raymond VI, and the converted water tower of Château d'Eau present architectural interest. The Garonne riverbanks, including Quai de la Daurade and Port Saint-Sauveur, provide water views. Historic buildings like Hôtel Dieu Saint-Jacques and La Grave show the city's architectural heritage. Gardens and parks such as Grand Rond and Prairie des Filtres add natural elements to urban photographs.
