Lonely Planet review

Founded in 1626 as Louis XIII's herb garden, Paris' botanical gardens are a serious institute rather than a leisure destination, but fascinating all the same. They're split into sections including a winter garden, tropical greenhouses and an alpine garden, as well as the school of botany. (There's also a menagerie.) The most scenic transport to get here is Batobus.
