In parallel with the exhibition "Espèces d’ours" held at the Grande Galerie de l’Evolution until June 19th, 2017, the grids of l’Ecole de Botanique du Jardin des Plantes welcome the pictures of bears of the photographer Vincent Munier. Thanks to photo prints of an extreme beauty and sensitivity, we discover the universe of the brown and polar bears, from the Canadian Arctic to the wild forests of Scandinavia or the Eastern Europe. The bear is presented here under various facets, alternately predatory, soft or maternal. A touching free exhibition which is available to families until May 16th, 2017, in the centre aisle of the famous green space. Then, you can head to the Green Hotels Paris, the Eiffel Trocadéro and the Gavarni, just a step from the Eiffel Tower, to take a relaxing break before venturing off to discover the gourmet tables of the city.

Exhibition "Ours, exposition photo", from December 10th, 2016 to May 14th, 2017.
Open every day from 7:30a.m. to 8p.m.
Free entrance.
