Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Beautiful gardens, in the heart of the city, and a must visit for any tourists. The ground level boasts wonderful statues and an intricate and ornate stone layout with waterways below. Climb the various levels of the gardens to reach Tour Magne for panoramic views of the city.

Gorgeous formal water gardens full of scented Linden trees, this is a wonderful place for a walk. It has the Temple of Diana on one side and grand stairways and lots of places to sit and take in the views. The gardens climb up the hill behind the fountains and pool into shady, tree lined paths that rise to the old city walls. A gorgeous place for a walk.

Can be enjoyed at anytime of the day or early evening. I did it by itself, and also after the visit to Tour Magne. Spectacular stonework and waterways, a bit cooler than other parts of the city during midday heat in shade near the water, ideal for a picnic spot. At the bottom entrance there is a public convenience and just outside the gates there is a nice little coffee/snack shop.

A nice park which is based on old remains from antiquity, but which was built like 100-200 years ago (a bit diffuse, haha). Some fountain, canals and ponds, statues and ruins, winding paths up a hillside with a destination, what more could you ask for? Yes, I know, unfortunately there is no type of kiosk or restaurant in the park, it's a real shame.

It looks nice. We even took the opportunity to put our legs in the pool with the swans, and yes it was the week of the heatwave! I also recommend the café at the entrance to the gardens, it's homemade and the prices are affordable.

These classic French style gardens constitute a green lung in the heat of Nimes. Well maintained, they allow you to spend relaxing moments in the cool in an old-fashioned park with statues and Roman ruins. Despite the crowds, the gardens are calm and relaxing. Clearly, one of the city's strong points.

I visited this beautiful park in July 2019 during lunch. It is filled with plenty of green space and benches to relax. There is a large elaborate main fountain. There are many Romanesque statues throughout the park.

We walked through the gardens to get to the Tour Magne.
There is no set path to the top, about 5 different ways, all on an incline, but steps or slopes.
Definitely worth doing even in you don’t go up the tower.
Gardens are free to visit, only charge is the tower.

Such a wonderful place. So nice to walk around the beautiful gardens and to see the ruins and the source of the natural springs.
The temple of Diane is in one small corner of the park and the look out tower is up on the hill. Be prepared to walk a lot if you want to see the whole park and the look out tower up the hill. The views from the top are so worth your effort

It’s a very beautiful and romantic park situated in the heart of Nîmes. The park has a calm and relaxed atmosphere which encourages visitors to saunter through the area and enjoy the fountains, wildlife and trees.
I’d highly recommend visiting here if you are ever travelling to Nîmes. The tourist attraction, the Tour Magne can be accessed by walking through the park.

Bonjour, est ce que les chiens sont acceptés, merci.

Lors de la promenade, j'ai pu voir plusieurs chiens, et pas toujours attachés. Alors interdit je ne pense pas !

Is it worth the extra charge to go up the tower? We’re an active family so the climb isn’t a factor. Just wondering if anyone paid the fee and then wished they didn’t.
Written 12 October 2019
Hi
The climb up the tower is a bit awkward. Very narrow staircase, but its definitely worth the cost. The view from the top is amazing. You can see all of Nimes and way into the distance.
Cost is only 3.5 euros.

Bonjour, il y a de parking près du jardin ou dans une bonne position pour visiter la cité? Merci
Written 11 August 2017
No, non ci sono parcheggi nelle immediate vicinanze
Comodo il parcheggio pubblico a pagamento sotto la piazza della chiesa, poco distante, circa quindici minuti a piedi.

Non c'est un parc gratuit. Seule la Tour Magne, en haut du parc est payante.
Bonne promenade.

Pour faire le tour du parc avec ses principaux monuments, il faut compter combien de temps? 1 heure ou plus? Merci
Written 12 May 2017
Il faut un peu plus d'une heure car il y a environs si mes souvenirs sont bons 277 marches pour aller en haut de la tour magne et ce sont des escaliers assez étroit mais la vue en haut est sublime et le tour des jardins de la fontaine est génial aussi

Is the Park free unless you want to take a guided Tour? Thanks
Written 1 July 2016
Yes, it is totally free to walk all around the gardens and the Temple of Diana. Fairly pricey charge to go up the tower at the very top of the gardens, but the view is quite spectacular!
