In Toulouse, both residents and visitors are eagerly anticipating the opening of a brand new garden around the majestic Dôme de la Grave. Although the work has taken a little longer than expected, spring 2025 is set to usher in a new era for the Saint-Cyprien neighborhood.

The iconic Saint-Joseph chapel in La Grave reopened its doors in 2022 after several years of renovation, and to further enhance this gem of the left bank, a large landscaping project is underway. The future garden promises to be a true invitation to relaxation and discovery. In addition to green spaces, the new garden will showcase thoughtfully designed themes: squares of vines and rows of lavender, whose colors will remind visitors of the blue hues of the Dome. The goal? To create a harmonious space that blends nature and heritage.

A peaceful haven expected to be completed in the coming weeks

The square in front of the monument will take on a whole new look with the creation of a hedge garden, offering a stunning view from an observation deck. It will also be a chance to discover a grand Paulownia tree, an Asian tree, and a row of linden trees that will complete the scenery. Lovers of tranquility will be able to relax in the small shaded square.

Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this garden will offer a new walkway, stretching from Pont Saint-Pierre to Jardin Raymond-VI, promoting a more relaxed flow of traffic, as the CHU (Cité de la Santé) has moved its main access to Rue Réclusane to reduce car traffic. This project is a true green lung that will enhance the vitality of this iconic neighborhood in Toulouse, while providing a space of tranquility and beauty for both locals and tourists. So, just a few more months to wait to enjoy this wonderful transformation!
