This
botanical garden is the work of 16th century botanists. In
1577 the apothecary Nicolas Houel founded the Maison de la
Charité Chrétienne (House of Christian Charity) with a
"garden of simple plants", the first botanical gardens in
Paris. By 1624 more than one thousand species were
cultivated here.

Located in Paris on the left bank,
this wonderful municipal garden is a pleasant place to stroll
and relax between visits to the Louvre or Eiffel Tower. You
can sit on a bench and "people watch" for hours surrounded by
nice plantings of annuals and perennials. |
