Jardin des Plantes

Paris's oldest botanical garden has been quietly wowing visitors since 1635. Wander through the Alpine Garden's rocky crevices, explore Art Deco greenhouses sheltering tropical species, or simply claim a bench with a book. The Ménagerie zoo and four natural history museums add scientific depth to this 28-hectare Latin Quarter escape.
