Additional Information
Introduction
Come see the vision created by King Louis XIII's personal physician, Guy de la Brosse. Pathways lead to specialty gardens, some of which display varieties of iris or rose. Spend the day at the zoo that was tucked into the grounds. Wander through one of its many museums and pretend you are a member of the medical school for whom the botanical gardens were created. There is more to Paris than the Eiffel Tower or Notre Dame. Go to the Jardin des Plantes and discover this rare jewel.

Jardin des Plantes in the 5th arrondissement offers a few different, especially kid-friendly activities. There's a zoo, National Museum of Natural History, and beautiful gardens filled with flowers. Very pretty place and great for a picnic and nice walk around the area. There is also a restaurant, La Baleine, if you want to sit down for a meal.
This is the premier botanical gardens of France, planted for King Louis XIII in the 1600's. Nice walkways for a stroll or a jog. This park contains a great natural history museum (Grande Gallerie d'Evolution), as well as a zoo that originally housed exotic animals from the King's menagerie at Versailles.
Beautiful and quiet park, less renown than Jardin du Luxembourg and totally worth stopping by if you need a restful break. It's a botanical garden so of course, you can see (for free) all sorts of trees, flowers and even exotic plants in greenhouse. It has a lot of shade, which is great in summer and also has a small zoo (you have to pay though, but I'd say it's worth it).
