A long lawn on the Garonne with views to Pont Neuf and the Hôtel-Dieu.
The Prairie des Filtres is a grassy riverside park that has been used by Toulouse residents since the Middle Ages. It lies between Pont Neuf and Pont Saint-Michel. On summer evenings people gather for picnics and music, and at sunset the Hôtel-Dieu glows pink across the river.
