Jardin de l'Évêché de Castres, French formal garden in Castres, France.
The Bishop's Garden features six parterre sections with boxwood embroidery designs forming fleur-de-lis and Occitan cross patterns surrounded by English-style gardens.
André Le Nôtre, principal gardener to King Louis XIV, designed this episcopal garden between 1676 and 1696 following the construction of the Bishop's Palace.
The garden received the designation of Historic Monument in 1995 and obtained the Outstanding Garden Label recognition in 2004 for its French classical design.
Located between the City Hall and Theater, this public garden remains open throughout the year and includes a children's playground and orientation table.
The garden preserves one of France's last remaining boxwood embroidery parterres, covering 1,100 square meters with original 17th-century patterns.
