The kiosk, built in 1786 according to Verniquet's plans, is the oldest metal structure in Paris. Its beautiful framework comes from the forges owned by Buffon at Montbard (Côte-d’Or). The building originally combined iron, copper, gold, bronze, and lead. The current Jardin des Plantes, heir to the royal garden of medicinal plants created in 1626 under Louis XIII, was opened to the public in 1640. Both a scientific institution and a public service, dedicated to research and the dissemination of knowledge, the Museum fulfills important founding missions that govern and inspire all its activities.

Jardin des plantes

Paris, France

The Paris Botanical Garden, known in French as the Jardin des Plantes, began its story in 1626. It was originally created as a royal medicinal garden by the doctor of King Louis XIII. Over the centuries, it has grown into a sprawling green space filled with more than 10,000 different plant species from around the world. Visitors can wander along tree-lined paths and discover a stunning variety of flowers, shrubs, and ancient trees throughout the gardens.

La Ménagerie: The Garden’s Historic Zoo

Within the garden grounds is La Ménagerie, a charming small zoo established in the late 18th century. This historic zoo is one of the oldest in the world and is home to rare animals such as red pandas, flamingos, and reptiles. It offers an opportunity for visitors of all ages to observe and learn about animals in a peaceful, leafy setting.

The National Museum of Natural History

The Jardin des Plantes is also the location of the Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle. This institution features the impressive Grande Galerie de l'Evolution, where thousands of animal specimens from around the globe are displayed in artful, lifelike arrangements. The museum also houses the Galerie de Paléontologie et d’Anatomie Comparée, filling its halls with fascinating skeletons of dinosaurs, prehistoric creatures, and various animals, inviting curiosity about the natural world and its evolution.
