A city park with a small botanic garden, the Bordeaux Public Garden (Jardin Public) is a peaceful escape within a bustling city. Locals head here to walk or jog, bring kids to the playground, or picnic beneath the park’s tall trees. The central pond, where swans and ducks glide by, is a scenic place for a stroll, while the charming Guignol Guérin theater draws families to its long-running puppet show.
