A wander around this beautifully-composed formal garden is the perfect antidote to city stress. Visit the main greenhouse for a look at its rare plants, discover the small zoo or explore one of the museums on site, which include the Grande Galerie de lEvolution and the Musée de Paléontologie. Created in 1635 by Louis XIIIs physician Guy de la Brosse, the gardens initial aim was to illustrate plants medicinal properties to medical students. Admission is free.

An easygoing escape from the bustle of city life

Reviewed by jaxcommuter on January 09, 2007

jaxcommuter's rating:

"A well-kept garden that is tucked away among hedges and classic buildings that house fun diversions. The garden was a serene, quiet way to unwind and admire nature’s specialties. The zoo was a highlight of our trip; it’s small but impressive and admission is nominal. My mother, sister, and I rented a small apartment in the building just across the street (Rue Monge). It proved the perfect location with a lively fruit/vegetable market, highly rated restaurants, the metro, and great shopping within easy walking distance. Check out this area if you’re planning an extended stay in Paris."
