Situated within the Bois de Boulogne in the western part of Paris, Les Jardins des Serres d’Auteuil is a beautiful greenhouse that dates back to 1761. Les Jardins des Serres d’Auteuil is one of four botanical gardens maintained by the city of Paris, and today, the main function of the greenhouse is to produce plants for the interior decoration of municipal buildings in the city. Inside the serres, or greenhouses, one will find many plants of the tropical variety, including palm trees and succulents. The garden is open daily and is free, making it a perfect activity for when the typically rainy weather of Paris proves to be too much.
