Jardin des Plantes

(Last Update: 05.09.2024) The place I want to tell you about in this article is a little more than a park, it is a place in itself. botanical garden It is an exquisite place designed to enable Parisians to wander around and enjoy life a little more: Jardin des Plantes (jarden de plant or jağden de plant).

Everyone Tuileries Gardenor Luxembourg GardenHe knows about , but Jardin des Plantes is not that well known. However, this is an extremely large and beautiful park and is a travel area that may be of interest to those who like to explore Paris from corner to corner and will love it as they wander around.

Jardin des Plantes has been at the service of Parisians for centuries to introduce plant diversity and, of course, to have a pleasant time. So much so that this garden was first It was founded in 1626 as “Jardin du Roi / King's Garden”, Converted into a public park in 1635; Just think about it...

Jardin des Plantes is a place where you can just spend your free time. 23 hectares It is not an “ordinary” green area, but a large complex that also includes different museums, a small zoo, a modest labyrinth and winter gardens.

This place, whose name can be translated as "Garden of Plants", that is, a botanical park, is located in the 5th century. borough'in Gare de Lyonon the opposite shore of Gare d'Austerlitz   Grand Mosque of Paris It is located between. Seine River When you enter from the gate on the shore, you see a long and wonderful road covered with flowers, and when you start walking towards the building opposite, you wonder whether to look at the trees, birds or beautiful flowers.

You will see three beautiful large buildings behind the trees throughout the park. The first of these is what we can briefly call the Fossils Gallery. Galerie d'Anatomie Comparée et Paléontologie, the second one is the Botanical Gallery. Galerie de Botanique and the third is what we can call the Geology Gallery. Galerie de Géologie et Minéralogie museums. The large building you see right in front of you is Grande Galerie de l'Evolution namely the Evolution Gallery, each of which can be visited (for a fee) and each of which deserves to be the subject of a separate article.

The area on your right as you enter the park is zoo. The area in the middle is both a park and a section designed for you to get to know interesting plant species closely. For this reason, after entering the park, you may be a little hesitant about which direction to proceed. One doesn't want to miss anything.

The middle part of the park is as green as the sides, but since it is treeless, it can be a bit tiring, especially on sunny days. Those who visit here on a sunny Paris day may choose to walk along the tree-lined paths on the right and left.

Those who run throughout the park, walk hand in hand, sit on benches and read books, lie loose in permitted areas, love and make love, go to another dimension and do yoga; Each one offers you a different view of Paris. If you turn back from the Evolution Gallery, the two steel-structured buildings on your left are greenhouses that can be visited for a fee. Behind them, the garden progresses further; We can say that there is almost that much more, so you can get lost with peace of mind :)

While wandering around this section, you will come across many beautiful buildings, different gardens, trees, plants and flower species. In fact, there is a small hill on the west side of the park, and at the top of the hill there is a winding mountain. labyrinth is available. In the middle of the labyrinth, a tiny tower is waiting to be discovered with childish joy. Then you continue to spiral down and get lost in the park.

To come to Jardin des Plantes, which is a different world in itself, by public transportation M5 or M10 metro lines “Gare d'AusterlitzAll you have to do is get off at the station. Another option is RER-A ve RER-D or M1 or M14 metro with lines Gare de LyonYou can come to and walk across the river from here.
