This Parisian garden is unlike other public squares: much like the "wild garden" at the Jardin des Plantes, it is planted with wild flora typical of various natural habitats in the Île-de-France region, and its meadows are mown only two or three times a year; however, unlike its counterpart, it is open to the public daily without an appointment. It serves as a genuine biodiversity reserve, featuring a pond that is home to frogs, water lilies, and newts.Paris : Jardin Naturel Pierre Emmanuel, un réservoir de biodiversité au coeur de la ville - XXème
