Jardins des Plantes' Tropical Greenhouses
place ValhubertAbout
After five years of renovation, the four tropical greenhouses of Jardin des Plantes have reopened to the public. The first one is made of glass and wood and was built in 1714. Two more were built in 1834 and 1836, in glass and metal this time. The fourth one (built in the 1930s) is in the art deco style. You will be able to visit: the damp tropical forests greenhouse, with an exclusively tropical ecosystem, the deserts and dry ecosystems greenhouse which explains how plants adapt to dryness in different parts of the world, the New Caledonia greenhouse which exhibits all the island's plants, and the History of plants greenhouse which tells a 430 millions of years long story.
