In the heart of this garden nestled on the boulevard Michelet (surface 1,4 hectare), we find one of the rare bastides of the XVIIIth century, its owner Messire Raphaël de Magalon, gave it his name.
In some squares, the playgrounds can still be used but are under the responsibility of parents who must ensure that health regulations are respected, including physical distance.

On the sides, four statues on pedestals represent the four seasons. The parterre located on the right of the bastide is decorated with a hexagonal basin. Four other vases coming from the castle of Grignan underline the four ends.
