10 Nature & Parks in Toulouse That You Shouldn't Miss
The southern France city of Toulouse is a study in contrasts. Visit the Academie des Jeux Floraux, the oldest literary society in the western world, as well as the Galerie du Chateau d'eau, the world's first photography museum. Stroll the Garonne, before visiting France's most beautiful pipe organ at the Saint-Sernin Basilica. Yet for all its medieval architecture, Toulouse is a modern city, home to the European aerospace industry, as well as bars and restaurants in bustling Place du Capitole.

The Garonne river in Toulouse offers nice walks along the banks with amazing views on brick-made historical buildings both at night and during daytime. It’s also an opportunity to learn a lot about the history of the city that was organized around the river.

My friend and I had a wonderful walk in this splendid spot, a Japanese garden within a public park. It was a delightful experience, a lovely walk on this Sunday afternoon. Worth the search... you will enjoy it! xxx

We enjoy this park regularly, it's a welcome oasis in the midst of the bustle of the city. And during the warmer months there are a series of concerts in the park, some free and others for a very nominal 10€. Dogs are welcome too! The only downside is lack of toilet facilities.
6. Canal de Brienne (Le)

With its double tree lined pathways punctuated by picturesque bridges and interesting architecture on the way agree with previous commentary that nicer than the canal du midi. Joined it half way after stopping briefly at the Japanese garden. Walked south towards the opening of the Garonne which took about 20 minutes and thought it stunning and tranquil and truly a respite from the boiling sun. A definite must if visiting Toulouse and if the weather is good and a breather from the plethora of shops churches and museums.

Such a relaxing place along the river. In 1889 it commemorated the centenary of the Revolution and this was originally a meadow where flocks of sheep feed then later it became a sports field and today it more of a lucious grassy parkland to enjoy.
