In the 19th century, to prettify and extend the street that ran through the centre of the city (Allées Paul Riquet), this 5 hectare English style garden was built. You’ll see busts and sculptures scattered around the pretty pathways – these are the indigenous poets who gave the park its fancy name. Most of them are the works of the sculptor Injalbert.

The highlights of the park are:

• A series of exquisite paths that wind in and out of shade.
• A hillock in the centre  that they say is perfect for poetic meditation.
• The statues and busts of poets
• The cute artificial lakes
• the monumental "Fountain of Titan"
• A statue of Pan spewing water
• A war memorial
• A children’s playground
• The bird-watching blue tit , the warbler, wrens, owls, parakeets and bats.

• You can drive to here, or walk.
