Jardin des Plantes

Jardin des Plantes is one of the oldest and most renowned botanical gardens in the world, founded in 1626 as a royal garden of medicinal plants.

On 28 hectares, you'll discover a remarkable botanical diversity, from cacti to orchids, as well as historic greenhouses and galleries.

The place delights not only plant lovers, but also whole families - there is a small zoo with red pandas, kangaroos and flamingos. Strolling through the alleys, you'll come across themed gardens, including the Alpine Garden, the Rose Garden and a fascinating maze with historic trees.
