Go see wild animals in the heart of Paris at the zoo in the Jardin des Plantes
Nestled next to the Natural History Museum, and a few minutes from Austerlitz station, the menagerie is home to some 1,200 animals… Red pandas, orang-utans or Chinese panthers, some 200 species are present! Impressive for its history, the menagerie is one of the oldest zoos in the world and opened in 1794. Its listed historic buildings add a certain charm to this visit. Take a look at the Reptile Gallery and the Great Aviary before admiring the Art Deco style building of the Menagerie.
