4 greenhouses where you can enjoy a tropical stroll in Paris

Sometimes we dream of immersing ourselves in the heart of a wonderful green oasis without necessarily having to leave the capital. While Paris is full of wonderful parks, we admit that until spring has fully arrived, they may not always be the most beautiful places to take a walk. But we have a solution for you: the botanical gardens. Both warm and tropical, they are the perfect place to get a breath of fresh, green air! The Greenhouses of the Jardin des Plantes You could easily get lost for hours in the greenhouses of the Jardin des Plantes, making you forget that you are in the heart of Paris. From the greenhouse of the humid tropical forests, to the desert and arid environments, and even the one dedicated to New Caledonia, a walk among all this flora allows you to experience a true world tour. This is a beautiful photo of a plant. It brings so much joy and freshness to my day. Looking at it makes me feel happy and calm. Let's appreciate the beauty of nature! 🌿 #naturelover 💚
