Nature
The Jardin alpin offers an exploration of the world's mountain ranges. The Jardin écologique is a protected enclave showcasing the diversity of natural habitats in the Paris Basin; it can only be accessed as part of guided tours.
One of the special features of the Jardin des Plantes is the group of Grandes Serres. The buildings of the Grandes Serres du Jardin des Plantes that can be seen today were constructed between 1834 and 1876; the combination of metal and glass marked a turning point. One of the greenhouses of the Grandes Serres du Jardin des Plantes traces the evolution of plants from the conquest of the land to the emergence of flowering plants.
Culture and History
The Menagerie du Jardin des Plantes was founded in 1794. It is located in a park covering more than 5 hectares and is home to 240 mammals, 500 birds, and 130 reptiles. Its enclosures and buildings can be explored independently along the paths; access is via two entrances from the paths of the Jardin des Plantes in the 5th Arrondissement.
The Grande Galerie de l'Évolution displays more than 7,000 lifelike specimens.
Since 1885, the Panthéon has been the resting place of prominent figures of the French nation. Guided tours with lectures are regularly offered at the Panthéon.
The Grandes Serres du Jardin des Plantes can be reached via the Jardin des Plantes Batobus stop.
Anyone wishing to visit the Jardin des Plantes, the Menagerie, and the Panthéon will want to rent a vacation apartment in the 5th Arrondissement.
