Jardin des Plantes de Lille, Municipal botanical garden in Lille, France

The garden extends across 11 hectares featuring over 1,500 plants arranged by family, with dedicated sections for roses and geographically organized trees.

Established in 1948, this botanical garden continues the legacy of previous city gardens dating back to 1596, maintaining scientific and educational traditions.

The garden houses an astronomical observatory and combines educational spaces with dedicated areas for studying plant species from different global regions.

Visitors can access the garden daily without entrance fees and explore the 1970-built tropical greenhouse containing 12,000 plants including bananas and coffee trees.

The 1952 orangery displays Mediterranean plants while a large pond provides a water feature among the scientific collections and pleasure park design.
