On <strong>19 and 20 September 2026<\/strong>, the Jardin des Plantes and the Mus\u00e9um national d&#8217;Histoire naturelle are throwing open their doors for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.parisselectbook.com\/en\/2026\/08\/10\/saint-germain-en-laye-rolls-out-the-royal-carpet-for-the-2026-european-heritage-days\/\">European Heritage Days<\/a>, with a programme designed for every age group.<\/p>\n<h2>Animal sculptures at the heart of the central library<\/h2>\n<p>One of the weekend&#8217;s most original offerings takes place at the Mus\u00e9um&#8217;s Biblioth\u00e8que centrale. An exhibition brings together the work of sculptor <strong>Patrice Alexandre<\/strong> and that of Fran\u00e7ois Pompon, a towering figure in animal sculpture whose pieces are held in the Mus\u00e9um&#8217;s collections. Alexandre has had a deep connection with this place since 1989, when he installed his work <em>Hommage \u00e0 Saint-John Perse<\/em> on the slopes of the Grand Labyrinthe. For <a href=\"https:\/\/www.parisselectbook.com\/en\/2026\/08\/09\/roger-vivier-opens-its-left-bank-hotel-particulier-for-the-2026-journees-du-patrimoine\/\">this 2026 edition<\/a>, he returns with a series of terracotta sculptures inspired by Pompon&#8217;s bestiary.<\/p>\n<p>Hippopotamus, eagle owl, rabbits, bear, elephant: the animals shaped by Alexandre answer Pompon&#8217;s pared-back silhouettes, creating a sensitive dialogue between <a href=\"https:\/\/www.parisselectbook.com\/en\/2026\/08\/09\/for-its-30th-anniversary-parmigiani-hides-the-mechanics-of-its-platinum-luxury-watches\/\">Art Deco<\/a> and contemporary creation. The exhibition is <strong>free and requires no booking<\/strong>, running both days from <strong>2pm to 7pm<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Alongside the exhibition, a clay modelling workshop invites participants to sculpt their own animal inspired by the two artists&#8217; forms. Lasting <strong>3 hours<\/strong>, the workshop is open to all audiences <strong>aged 10 and over<\/strong>. It runs on both <a href=\"https:\/\/www.parisselectbook.com\/en\/2026\/08\/10\/molieres-thrillers-and-moulin-rouge-what-to-see-on-stage-on-15-august-2026-in-paris\/\">Saturday and Sunday<\/a> from <strong>2pm to 5pm<\/strong>, is free but requires prior registration. Places are limited to <strong>10 people maximum<\/strong>, and bookings open on <strong>2 September<\/strong> via Eventbrite.<\/p>\n<h2>The Jardin des Plantes marks its 400th anniversary with digital treasure hunts<\/h2>\n<p>Outside, the Jardin des Plantes transforms into an adventure playground thanks to two digital trails accessible via the Baludik app. The first, titled <strong>&#8220;The strange disappearance of the botanist&#8221;<\/strong>, draws participants into an investigation: a Mus\u00e9um botanist has vanished without a trace, and it&#8217;s up to you to solve the mystery as you make your way through the garden. This treasure hunt is available from age <strong>6<\/strong>, for families or groups, and runs entirely independently via smartphone. It is free and accessible during the garden&#8217;s opening hours, from <strong>8am to 7pm<\/strong> on both days.<\/p>\n<p>The second digital trail, <strong>&#8220;Apprentice sculptors at the Jardin des Plantes&#8221;<\/strong>, ties in with the garden&#8217;s <strong>400th anniversary<\/strong>. The fictional professor Monsieur Poupom tasks participants with creating a new sculpture for the garden. To do so, they must track down existing works and complete a series of playful missions. This trail is also available from age 6, free of charge, and runs from <strong>8am to 6pm<\/strong> on both days.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Patrice Alexandre \/ Fran\u00e7ois Pompon exhibition: free, no booking required, 2pm-7pm<\/li>\n<li>Modelling workshop: free, registration from 2 September, 10 places, 2pm-5pm<\/li>\n<li>Treasure hunt &#8220;The strange disappearance of the botanist&#8221;: free, ages 6+, 8am-7pm<\/li>\n<li>Treasure hunt &#8220;Apprentice sculptors&#8221;: free, ages 6+, 8am-6pm<\/li>\n<li>Literary and historical walk: free, adults, on-the-day registration, 11am-12.30pm<\/li>\n<li>Family visit &#8220;The tree that travels back in time&#8221;: free, ages 6+, on-the-day registration, 11am-12pm<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Guided tours to immerse yourself in the garden&#8217;s history<\/h2>\n<p>For those who prefer a more narrative approach, two guided tours are offered each morning at <strong>11am<\/strong>, meeting at the entrance to the Grande Galerie de l&#8217;\u00c9volution. The first, a literary and historical walk, traces the history of the Jardin des Plantes across more than four centuries. It draws on extracts from the visitor&#8217;s guide published in <strong>1804<\/strong> by Jean-Baptiste Pujoulx, which reveals, among other things, that the garden once went by different names and was situated in what was then a faubourg on the outskirts of Paris. This tour is for adults only and runs until <strong>12.30pm<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The second tour, designed especially for children, is called <strong>&#8220;The tree that travels back in time&#8221;<\/strong>. Accompanied by a science educator and armed with an activity booklet, participants set off in search of the garden&#8217;s oldest tree. Children must be accompanied by an adult. The tour ends at <strong>12pm<\/strong>. Both tours are free, with no advance booking required, subject to availability.<\/p>\n<p>This packed programme makes the Jardin des Plantes one of the unmissable highlights of this heritage weekend in Paris. Whether you&#8217;re passionate about sculpture, a botany enthusiast or simply curious, every member of the family will find something to suit them, and all without spending a single cent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This weekend brings a rare opportunity for Parisian families: a chance to explore one of the capital&#8217;s most fascinating sites
