The Jardin des Plantes in Paris celebrates its 400th anniversary on television
Published
The Jardin des Plantes, one of the most beautiful green spaces in Paris, is celebrating its 400th anniversary this year. To mark the occasion, the programme "Des racines et des ailes", presented by Carole Gaessler on France 3, is devoting a special evening to this emblematic site in the capital.
Created in 1626 under the reign of Louis XIII, the Jardin des Plantes was originally a medicinal garden. Today it is home to the National Museum of Natural History, which holds numerous scientific collections, historic greenhouses and a menagerie. Every year, millions of visitors come to stroll through it, discover the diversity of plants and enjoy the tranquillity of the garden.
In this report, the programme's team presents the history of the site, its gardeners, its researchers and its most famous areas. Viewers can thus discover behind the scenes of a place that plays an important role in scientific research and in public education.
This programme serves as a reminder of the importance of this heritage for Parisians and for all French people. Anniversaries of institutions as old as this one are an opportunity to better understand their role, yesterday as well as today.
