The garden of the greenhouses of Auteuil

A very nice walk in the greenhouses of Auteuil near the Bois de Boulogne in Paris.

The garden of the greenhouses of Auteuil is a very pretty park located next to the Bois de Boulogne. It houses greenhouses with a collection of tropical plants. The renovation of the Roland-Garros stadium has led to changes in the garden of the Auteuil greenhouses, greenhouses have been created around a new tennis court. The walk is short, the park is not very big, the visit is completely free. Do not hesitate to visit the greenhouses of the Auteuil garden. You can continue the visit to the lakes of the Bois de Boulogne if you wish.

You can also finish with a drink at the very chic Molitor the old swimming pool which is now a hotel with a bar/restaurant.

The tennis court

The tennis court
The extension of the Roland-Garros tennis stadium was to encroach on the Auteuil greenhouses. How to reconcile plant lovers and tennis fans? By building a tennis court surrounded by greenhouses! It's so obvious.

One can wonder if in our time such greenhouses are still of interest. Of course they are beautiful, but one should not calculate the energy expenditure to regulate the temperature and hygrometry.
