A welcome sanctuary for those looking for a bit of peace and quiet.

Please read the excellent reviews in French. I am not surprised they note that many Paris folk do not know about it. After I visited, I told all my friends, many have lived in Paris 50+ years, and they never heard of it! The new greenhouses surrounding court Simonne-Mathieu of Roland Garros are the unique attraction. Though when I visited there had been significant vandalism, so 2 of the sides were closed.

It's quiet, it's lovely and it's full of greenhouses where plants and foliage from different countries and continents are grown. It's also a free visit. Bring your sandwich, take a book, smell the flowers, enjoy the quiet! So pretty!
