A water garden planted with cattails and rushes, where the tortoise occupies a special place in Paris

This garden was created in 2006, along with the Musée du Quai Branly. Before entering, you discover (side quay Branly) the plant wall designed by the botanist Patrick Blanc. Of 800 m ², this vertical surface presents 15 000 plants from 150 endangered species from all over the world. You then explore a set of spaces imagined by landscape landscape Gilles Clément. They take a savamment "wild" look. The two hundred trees and species of herbaceous species (oak, maple, rose, spurge, needle, rush, feather, cherry…) are covered here and cover hilly areas, which enjoy a wide range of winding and bassins. Here and there, you décèlerez the oval shape of the tortoise's shell, a fetish animal of this garden. Finally, under the museum, don't miss the "O", an installation by Yann Kersalé. In the midst of plants, light rushes are lit up by the day and draw shapes on the ceiling of the building.

Tres inattendu en plein cœur de la ville

Beautiful gardens within the Quai Branly museum. Very calm place to chill out and read. There is a cafe in the garden, too.

Un jardin qui fait du bien dans cette jungle urbaine. Le mur de verre est bien efficace pour atténuer le bruit de la circulation sur les quais.
Accessible gratuitement et aménagé aussi pour les PMR♿️.

I saw a show at the museum and I was amazed. I must say I was a bit worried seeing mask and art from the African continent paraded in a big space like this and less than One percent of the works were credited to their creators, as in the artist are unknown and these artefacts were stolen and the question about stolen artefacts being returned arises. I hope we find a space where we can do the human thing possible.
