The Jardin des Plantes is a French garden of 2.5 hectares that was created more than 4 centuries ago! It is a real green setting in the heart of Paris ! An ideal place for a family outing, on Wednesdays, weekends, during the vacations... The Jardin des Plantes is above all : the Great Gallery of Evolution, the Menagerie, la Gallery of Paleontology and Comparative Anatomy, the Great Greenhouses, Children's Gallery… and the French garden for a walk with the children. For lunch, the restaurant "Les Belles Plantes" is very pleasant. It is located in the Jardin des Plantes and has a nice terrace when the weather is nice.
