Toulouse, France - 10th November 2007

By: Mistigree

Today, it was really sunny and I decided to visit a garden this morning. It is called "Jardin du Grand Rond". In fact, this garden is a circle and is a kind of big roundabout.

Let's cross the street !

Here we are ! Nice fountain with a big jet of water... I did not approach too much of it because I did not want to wet my fur !

There was a bandstand too, which seemed to be interesting.

And it was interesting indeed !! There were made of flowers/plants rugby scenes all around the bandstand !

This is because Toulouse welcomed 4 rugby matches during the last rugby worldcup last month.

This explanation said that the place was also called "Esplanade Boulingrin" that derived from the english "Bowling green". Many revolutionary fairs took place here and later horse races too. It was also the favourite place to wander for the inhabitants of Toulouse during the Edwardian era.

This wolf statue impressed me a lot !!!! It looked so fierce !! OK, I'm the king of the animals, but I'm quite small !

In front of the wolf, there was a dog statue, protecting her babies... It is certainly a legend, but Mistigree and I did not find which one.
