Audio Guide of Alexandre I Garden

Alexandre I Garden is open every day of the year. From October to March, the hours are 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM. From April to September, it is open from 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM. It is a perfect place for a relaxing stroll at any time of day within these hours.

Good news! Access to Alexandre I Garden is completely free. You can enjoy its beauty and tranquility at no cost, making it an excellent option for every budget. So there is no excuse not to visit!

To fully enjoy Alexandre I Garden and its different corners, I recommend allowing between 45 minutes and 1 hour. If you feel like sitting for a while and soaking up the atmosphere, you could extend it to 1 hour and 30 minutes. Ideal for relaxing!

Alexandre I Garden, with its equestrian statue by Eugène Cortot representing the engineer Vauban, is much more than a simple park. This green space symbolizes the historical connection between Toulon and its military and engineering heritage. It is a place of memory and a green lung in the heart of the city.

For the best experience, I suggest visiting the garden during spring (April-May) or autumn (September-October), when the weather is milder and the blooming flowers or changing leaf colors make the scenery even more beautiful. Early morning or sunset offers lovely light and a calmer atmosphere.

Yes, Alexandre I Garden is mostly accessible for people with reduced mobility. Its paths are flat and wide, making it easy to get around in a wheelchair. It is an inclusive space designed for all visitors to enjoy.

After enjoying the garden, I recommend exploring Toulon Old Town, which is right next door. You can visit the Toulon Opera House, the Toulon Museum of Art, or take a walk along the Port of Toulon and hop on a boat to see the harbor. There is plenty to see and do within walking distance!

Of course. To make the most of your visit, I suggest bringing a bottle of water, especially in the warmer months. It is also a good idea to bring a camera to capture the beauty of the garden and the statue. And if you feel like it, find a bench and simply relax while watching people come and go!
