Allée Basse du Jardin des Plantes, Cycle path and urban park alley in Jardin des Plantes, Niort, France.

The Lower Alley crosses a green space with flower beds and runs along the Sèvre Niortaise River on a light limestone surface.

The development of the Jardin des Plantes, including the Lower Alley, began in the 18th century with the creation of Saint-Gelais promenade in 1773.

Visitors can discover a lion bas-relief and a wrought iron entrance gate dating from the 1850s.

The 3.50-meter-wide alley is accessible from Place Chanzy, Quai de la Régratterie, or Pré-Leroy Park.

The purple beech tree in the lower alley receives official protection as a notable tree of local natural heritage.
