Jardin d'agronomie tropicale

A strange and forgotten place in the Bois de Vincennes. 

Many of the buildings come from colonial exhibitions in the first half of the twentieth century. 

It also contains memorials to colonial soldiers who died in battle while fighting in the French army.

Its future looks more certain, now that it has become the property of the city of Paris and plans are being drawn up to restore the garden and its buildings
