Info
In the Grandes Serres of the Jardin des Plantes, this edition of "Autumn Tropical" invites visitors to take a closer look at the palm trees. A silhouette of a toucan serves as a landmark for locating the specimens along the route. By lifting one's gaze to the leaves, and then returning to the base of the plant, one discovers that what resembles a trunk is formed quite differently in these plants.
The exhibition links these differences in form to the environments in which the palms grow and to the uses humans make of them. In tropical regions, they provide both food resources and materials for manufacturing. In the greenhouses, this story is read from the plants themselves, from their silhouettes to the way their leaves unfold.
Practical information
• Closed on Tuesday. The exhibition is included in the Grandes Serres admission ticket.
