These charming
glass houses offer visitors to the capital an oasis of calm and
beauty in the centre of the 16th arrondissement. There are
greenhouses of luxuriant ferns and other forest and mountain
plants, as well as tropical carnivorous plants and a palm house.
The garden and glass houses are largely the work of Jean
Camillie Formige and were originally built in 1895 for the
cultivation of plants and flowers for city parks.
