A welcome sanctuary for those looking for a bit of peace and quiet. Best time to come is in the Spring when the cherry blossom trees are in full bloom Wandering around the gardens made me slightly nostalgic for my home in England which is nestled in the heart of the Somerset countryside. If I'm ever missing home I always come here and pass through the quaint Japanese gardens to the comfort of the English rose gardens.

Il n'y a pas de haie taillé ou de gazon tondu ici, seule la végétation sauvage règne et ne se laisse que discrètement maîtrisée par le jardinier. Cet écosystème possède également sa faune particulière, et c'est près de la mare que l'on retrouve ainsi libellules, grenouilles et escargots.

While it may not be a top site in Paris like the Eiffel Tower, it's a fascinating piece of urbran art in its own right, and worth taking a look if you're in the neighborhood.

Please read the excellent reviews in French. I am not surprised they note that many Paris folk do not know about it. After I visited, I told all my friends, many have lived in Paris 50+ years, and they never heard of it! The new greenhouses surrounding court Simonne-Mathieu of Roland Garros are the unique attraction. Though when I visited there had been significant vandalism, so 2 of the sides were closed. All the traditional buildings are in a terrible state. Let's hope the Mairie de Paris spends money on restoration, but go anyway. You can enter most of the hoses, and they are lovely. As noted by one French review, the cactus house is fabulous.

It does require admission to enter the green house but the price paid includes admission to the botanical gallery as well. There are two parts to the green house. Note to make sure you see everything in the main green house before going to the second part. Once you enter the second part, you can only enter the first part of the green house through the entrance (that requires some walking back). I don't think this is one of the tourist attraction spots. Most of the visitors here are locals or students.
