    Jardin des Plantes is a very terrible place to go. It is very unsafe and dangerous as the safety of visitors are easily compromised

    Lovely garden of ancients african primary forest plants and some other imported plants from abroad, where you still can see a certain specy of monkeys in their natural environment. Former private garden of french governor in porto novo during colonisation. It's just a mixture of nature and history!!

    First time I visited in 2017 this was a beautiful and interesting place. But due to lack of maintenance it's become a bit sad. It's messy and several paths are now inaccessible. The pond is half empty. Also full of mosquito's but I suppose that comes with the territory. But it still has some wonderful big trees.

    It’s a nice public space but no one was there. It feels abandoned and open at the same time.

    A little forest in the city. Very peaceful and beautiful, but small. A good place to take shelter from the heat of the sun and read your book, but not particularly interesting for any other reason. There are two parts on either side of the street, one is more dense forest and has only 1 bench near the gate, the other is more of a clearing with benches, a restaurant and a playground- still well shaded. A man tried to get us to pay for entry, but we refused. He put up quite a fight, but no fees are posted, no one mentions it in the comments on google, and it says it’s free online. If this happens to you, don’t bend! Simply to walk around is, in fact, free.

    I love the beautiful serenity and accessibility to the park. The beauties of lovely monkeys playing around and amazing trees of nature. This is a great recreational facility for families and friends to visit everyday to enjoy true nature and wonders of God.
