Jardin des Serres d’auteuil

Paris, France, France

---

The Jardin des Serres d’Auteuil is a botanical garden in the 16th arrondissement of Paris, set at the edge of the Bois de Boulogne between the Roland‑Garros tennis complex and the Parc des Princes stadium.

It covers about 3 hectares and is organized around an elegant French‑style central parterre, with five large glass‑roofed greenhouses from the late 19th century designed by architect Jean‑Camille Formigé, housing tropical and exotic plants such as palms, orchids, azaleas, and other rare species.

Originally created in 1761 under Louis XV as a botanical site with greenhouses, the garden was later taken over by the City of Paris and now forms one of the four poles of the Jardin Botanique de la Ville de Paris, alongside Bagatelle, the Parc Floral, and the Arboretum de l’École du Breuil, and it remains open daily to the public free of charge, offering a quiet green retreat and educational visits in the heart of the French capital.
