The Fountain Garden (Jardins de la Fontaine) was built in the 18th century and became one of the first public gardens in Europe. Its chief architect was Jacques-Philippe Maré chal, a military engineer at the court of Louis XV. By its type, the park is a regular French garden - a double staircase, decorative canals, flowerpots, marble statues and fountains.
If you move along the central alley of the park, along the canals, on the left side you will see the ruins of the Temple of Diana. This name is conditional, since the origin of the building and its exact purpose are still unknown. It has only been established that the construction was founded in the era of Emperor Augustus. It has survived to this day due to the fact that from the 10th to the 16th century it was used as the church of a Benedictine monastery.
On one of the hills of the garden is the Tower of Man (Tour Magne), which dates back to the 1st century BC. e.
If you decide to go up to the Tower, then a complex ticket for visiting the Arena, the Tower of Magne and the Maison Carré costs 11.70 euros.
