Compact arboretum at Square Émile Joly offering mature trees, seasonal foliage, winding paths and framed views of Mende’s stone architecture. Best for intimate nature shots, autumn color and soft dawn/dusk light. Free, ground-level access; parking and cafés nearby on Pl. du Foirail. Weekday mornings are quiet; spring and autumn offer strongest color contrasts.
