[FR] Il a été conçue en 1895 pour montrer des plantes sauvages provenant du Gabon et du Jardin de Saint-Pierre en Martinique. Il a longtemps accueilli des espèces tropicales, surtout horticoles. Ce n’est que depuis une trentaine d’années que ces serres sont devenues un véritable « laboratoire » dédiée à l’écologie tropicale, on y cultive dorénavant des plantes des forêts équatoriales.

Il a été construite par Etablissements Guillot-Pelletier d'Orléans sous la direction de Paul MARNY, alors directeur du Jardin des Plantes. Inauguré en 1896, elle a été totalement restaurée en 1998.

[EN] It was designed in 1895 to display wild plants coming from Gabon and the Saint-Pierre garden in Martinique. It housed tropical species, especially horticultural ones, for a long time. It was only in the last 30 years that the greenhouses have become a veritable "laboratory" dedicated to tropical ecology. Plants from equitorial forests are now cultivated here.

It was constructed by "Etablissements Guillot-Pelletier" of Orléans under Paul MARNY, then director of the botanical gardens. Inaugurated in 1896, it was completely restored in 1998.
