Jardin Alpin, Alpine garden in Jardin des Plantes, Paris, France
Located ten feet below ground level, this garden hosts two thousand plant species arranged according to their continental origins and mountain habitats.
The garden transformed from a simple mountain plant collection in 1640 to its current form in 1931, during a major renovation of the Jardin des Plantes.
Each section of the garden presents plants based on their geographical origins, allowing visitors to discover flora from various mountain regions worldwide.
The garden opens Monday through Friday from 8:00 to 16:50, weekends from 13:30 to 18:30, with a two euro entrance fee on weekends.
