Jardin de l'Observatoire de Paris, Urban park near the Paris Observatory, 14th arrondissement, France.
The garden spans 5,500 square meters of green space with tree-lined paths, flower beds, and numerous plant species surrounding the observatory complex.
The garden became part of the Paris Observatory grounds in 1883, serving as a testing area for astronomical instruments and scientific research.
The entrance features a statue of François Arago, while medallions installed in 1994 mark the Paris Meridian that crosses through the garden.
The garden is accessible via metro line 6 at Saint-Jacques station or RER B at Denfert-Rochereau station, with multiple entry points along Boulevard Arago.
The space functions both as a scientific institution's grounds and a public garden, combining astronomical heritage with botanical diversity.
