Social Distancing in Paris – 5th Arrondissement – Jardin des Plantes

The Jardin des Plantes is one of the largest parks at the very heart of Paris within walking distance of the Station of Austerlitz and the Seine River as well as the main city sights.

It was created in the 17th century when it was the Garden of Medicinal Plants.

Nowadays it contains everything related to Natural sciences. You can find the Natural History Museums there, a mini-zoo, a greenhouse with exotic plants and an entire area with sample of all the crops that are grown in France so that the Parisians know where their food comes from.
