Square Charles-de-Gaulle, Garden square in central Toulouse, France
Charles-de-Gaulle square is a garden square in central Toulouse with a trapezoidal layout and open design. Water fountains, wooden benches, and tree-lined paths define its physical character.
The square was created between 1873 and 1875 as part of urban development along Alsace-Lorraine Street. It replaced an earlier structure and originally had an iron fence that was later removed.
The square displays several artworks including a bronze statue of singer Claude Nougaro and a bust of Jean Jaurès that serve as gathering points for visitors. These sculptures shape how people experience and move through the space.
The square is easily reached by metro line A at the Capitole station or by bus lines in adjacent streets. Bike-sharing stations are available nearby for convenient access.
The square features a modern fountain system with water jets emerging directly from the granite ground across a large area. These fountains create a refreshing space between the statue and the historic tower, especially popular during warmer months.
