Jardin des Plantes & Grandes Serres
There are no specific measures in place at the Jardin des Plantes and the Grandes Serres to help guide visually-impaired visitors.
The presence of a carer is recommended. For visitors who tire easily, there are numerous benches throughout the site.
The large number of entrances at various locations means problem areas can be avoided (steep slopes, narrow pathways).
The Jardin des Plantes visitor reception centre is located at the Place Valhubert entrance, to the left of the entrance as you face the Jardin. For additional information, please ask at the reception desks (and/or ticket booths) of the various sites you are going to visit.
However, in the Grandes Serres the visually-impaired visitors can use their sticks to guide them by following the concrete rim running along the edge of the path. Nevertheless, the absence of specific measures to help guide visually-impaired visitors means that visiting the Grandes serres on their own is likely to be difficult. The presence of a carer is recommended.
Access to the entrance porch is via the monumental stairway (access via fifteen steps, with no handrail), or using the lift to the right of the flight of steps.
Should the lift be out of order and you wish to avoid using the stairs, ask a security officer to lead you into the greenhouses via another entrance on the same level.
Seating is not provided in the greenhouses.
Access to the upper part of the greenhouses is either via some steps, or a lift accessible from inside the building, at the far end of the desert greenhouse.
