Toulouse and the "Jardin du Grand Rond"

In the middle of the urban city lies the Jardin du Grand Rond, a sweet escape in the form of a beautiful garden. Inspired by the English bowling green, the Grand Rond turned from a place to bowl into a floral haven in the midst of the town. The oval-shaped garden was completed in 1754 and now features astounding statues such as ‘David Slaying Goliath’ by Antonin Mercie and ‘Winner of the Cockfight’ by Alexandre Falguiere.
