Tropical Garden of Paris René-Dumont

About Tropical Garden of Paris René-Dumont

The Tropical Agronomy Garden is a green space at the far eastern side of the bois de Vincennes in Paris on the edge of Nogent-sur-Marne, almost at the easternmost part of Paris. It stands on the site of a colonial trial garden created at the end of the 19th century to increase agricultural production in the French colonies. The exhibition had between one and two million visitors and was accounted a success, though the shows and the pavilions hosting them later led to it being described as a human zoo.
