Grandes serres du Jardin des plantes, Greenhouse complex in the 5th arrondissement, Paris, France

The Grandes Serres du Jardin des Plantes form an aligned group of five metal-framed greenhouses built between 1836 and 2010; four are open to the public, while the fifth serves as a nursery for the Museum's gardeners and botanists. The two oldest pavilions, designed by Charles Rohault de Fleury and inaugurated in 1836, face each other: rectangular halls with curved glazed roofs, dark green metal grids and pale stone bases, linked by a sloped stone ramp with a metal handrail.

The Jardin royal des plantes médicinales, founded by Guy de La Brosse in 1635, had greenhouses on this same spot, as shown in Frédéric Scalberge's 1636 perspective view. Charles Rohault de Fleury, back from London, designed steam-heated metal-framed greenhouses built in 1833–1836; only two pavilions were erected and inaugurated in 1836, the present Nouvelle-Calédonie and history-of-plants houses. The 1889 winter garden by Louis Jules André was replaced in 1935–1936 by René Berger's Art Deco building, inaugurated in 1937.

The two oldest pavilions, built in 1836, are named for New Caledonia (formerly the Mexican house) and the history of plants (formerly the Australian house). The five aligned metal-framed houses belong to the Muséum national d'histoire naturelle, and four are open to the public while the fifth serves as a nursery for the museum's gardeners and botanists.

Four of the five aligned greenhouses are open to visitors; the fifth, a nursery for the Museum's gardeners and botanists, is closed. The two 1836 pavilions by Rohault de Fleury face each other across a sloped stone ramp with a metal handrail, and the 1937 winter garden lies further along the row.

The two 1836 pavilions by Charles Rohault de Fleury were heated by steam, so they no longer depended on orientation to the sun. They now house the New Caledonia collection (formerly the Mexican house) and the history of plants (formerly the Australian house).
