Jardins de l'Archipel des Berges de Seine Niki-de-Saint-Phalle, Floating gardens on the Seine riverbanks near Invalides, France.

The garden comprises five landscaped metal barges adorned with native plants, creating a natural corridor along the Seine riverbank in central Paris.

In 2014, Mayor Anne Hidalgo inaugurated these floating gardens as part of a major initiative to transform the Seine riverbanks into pedestrian-friendly areas.

The gardens bear the name of Franco-American artist Niki de Saint Phalle, with one of her large colored female sculptures standing near the entrance.

Visitors can join free guided nature walks lasting 90 minutes, accessed through the Invalides metro station to explore local flora and fauna.

Each of the five floating islands spans 350 square meters and features distinct vegetation densities, forming natural habitats for river wildlife.
