Lonely Planet review

If you need some respite from all the art, the Jardin des Plantes is one of the most exquisite botanical gardens in France. Founded in the early 19th century, and filled with flowerbeds, duck ponds, fountains and towering redwoods (sequoias), there are hothouses and a children's playground at the northern end.
