I live nearby and go to the jardin to run and draw, and occasionally with the kids on the weekend. I had no idea about the history! Thanks so much for your research! They also just opened the Jardin des Plantes Vivaces, right next to the carousel. It's a small enclosed area that's overflowing with flowers and you can get very close to them (unlike in the main strip) – excellent for overthinking the details of every single bloom lol

I didn't know about the Jardin des Plantes Vivaces, thanks for the tip! Sounds like a good place to go drawing this summer.
Thank you, Moriah! Your writing and art makes me want to discover this wonderful place!
So glad you liked it! It's a beautiful place, you should definitely check it out!
