Jardin Public

Landscaping is artistic and informative, with lots of explanatory signs, at the Jardin Public. Established in 1755 and laid out in the English style a century later, the grounds incorporate duck ponds, the meticulously catalogued Jardin Botanique created in 1629, and the city's Musée Bordeaux – Sciences et Nature. In warm weather outdoor puppet shows entertain weekend strollers and free Saturday-morning yoga sessions are a year-round happening.
