Jardin des Plantes
Back to all places
The Jardin des Plantes, located in the heart of Paris, spans over 28 hectares and serves as a major botanical garden and research center. It was originally created in 1635 as a medicinal herb garden for King Louis XIII.
Now it features a vast collection of plants, trees, and flowers from around the globe, alongside several galleries, greenhouses, a natural history museum, and a small historic zoo.
Visitors can explore themed gardens, such as the rose garden and the alpine garden, and delve into the rich heritage of botanical science through educational exhibits and workshops. This historic site continues to be a focal point for both nature lovers and those interested in the scientific exploration of flora and fauna.
