Jardin des Plantes
| This was once the Royal Botanical Gardens. Apart from the wonderful gardens,it has a small zoo (the first in Paris but now just an annexe of the big one at Vincennes) which contained until recently Paris’ oldest inhabitant, a tortoise generally agreed to have been around at the Revolution. Also in this park are a group of Natural History Museums, covering the whole of biology from dinosaurs onwards. |
