Jardin écologique de Lille, Protected nature reserve in Vieux-Lille, France.
The ecological garden extends over 2.5 hectares, featuring woodland areas, shrubs, a pond, and the Tortue River within Vauban fortifications.
In 1985, residents of Vieux-Lille formed an association to manage this abandoned space on Vauban fortifications, establishing France's first ecological garden.
The garden functions as an environmental education center where visitors learn about local ecosystems through guided tours and informational displays.
Located at the end of Rue du Guet, the garden opens on Wednesday and Sunday afternoons through volunteer efforts of Association Lisiere(s).
The Tortue River at the foot of the escarpment, named after a 1708 military battle, originally drained marshlands of Lomme and Santes.
