The image depicts the main entrance to the Jardin des Plantes, located in Toulouse, France. The scene is observed on a sunny autumn day, indicated by the yellow-green foliage of a large deciduous tree in the foreground left and scattered brown and yellow leaves on the paved ground. The entrance consists of a classical stone archway with "JARDIN DES PLANTES" carved into its lintel. This archway is supported by multiple fluted columns with ornate capitals. Behind and flanking the stone structure are sections of brick wall. A dark, ornate metal gate secures the central entrance, which appears closed. Two large, vertical banners are affixed to the columns, one on each side of the gate. Both banners display an identical stylized illustration featuring figures riding a reddish, dog-like creature, with the French text "Domestique moi si tu peux !". Small logos are visible at the bottom of the banners. In the right foreground, a black streetlamp with a curved, reflective top stands upright. Attached to its pole are two yellow and brown rectangular signs. The upper sign reads "ESPLANADE FRANCAIS D'AFRIQUE DU NORD" in French, and the lower sign repeats this in Spanish as "ESPLANADA FRANCESA D'AFRICA DEL NORTE". The ground in the foreground is paved with light-colored rectangular blocks featuring darker gray grout lines. A square tree pit surrounds the base of the foreground tree, filled with fallen autumn leaves. A small, light-colored utility box is mounted on the brick wall to the left of the archway. Strong sunlight illuminates the scene from the upper right, casting distinct shadows on the paving. No individuals are visible.
