This place was within 6 mins of where we were staying . It was such a nice break from the noise of the city. I enjoyed walking around looking at all the pretty plants. Just don't touch the grass or you will get a whistle blown at you.

If you have an hour or so to kill before your train from Gare Du Lyon this park is only 10/15 minutes walk away across the Charles De Gaul Bridge and past the Gare D; Austerlitz. It's well worth the walk and is beautiful on a sunny day. It's not in the "Paris Top Twenty" but you will be glad...

Going to the museum of natural history we discovered the garden between the different museums. It looked to be well kept and beautiful with many old growth trees as well as more formal gardens. Unfortunately it was a rainy day so we didn't get to spend the time there it deserved.

This hidden gem is à real must see also. À bit of the regular route by many tourists but when you take the short walk along the Seine, this will surprise you. Lovely views and a real nice zoo.

We stopped in to just take a break from the usual sightseeing and were very impressed with the Gardens. As it was quite hot, the Jardin des Plantes offered plenty of shade that wandered around beautiful manicured flowers and plants. Free to visit, there is also a small restaurant if you need a snack or drinks.

I don't know if it was just the time of year or where I happened to wander but I was fairly underwhelmed with this garden. It was nice to people watch in the evening though, as all the runners were out. There are a lot of places you can go to if you are willing to pay (greenhouses, zoo, etc)...
