The Paris Natural History museum
|
The Paris Natural History Museum is both fascinating for adults and
impressive for children.
In addition to the museum, lots of flowers
and a nice little zoo, the Plant Garden also features a tropical
glasshouse and a mexican glasshouse.
Precious and hot addresses when
the wind is freezing outside.
