Lucked out with good weather ! Got off of train at station PIE- IX. Walked right up the hill one block. Huge amount of construction going on but there was police to redirect. The Olympique Stadium was on the opposite side of the road from the Jardin de Botanique. We took some pics along the way. Can't miss the entrance to Jardin de Botanique and there's a huge parking lot. There's information booths with a friendly receptionist that speaks both English and French. Multiple passes to choose from with different rates. If you are a student or resident - you get a discount. We chose Tix 1 where we got the Jardins and Insectorium. Right at the entrance there's a Boutique to buy garden stuff :). You walk in at hit the green houses and Bioderm area. Once again everything was English / French and staff were extremely friendly. We got there about Lunch time so before we ventured to through the gardens we decided to go for lunch at their restaurant. Pricey but did not disappoint. We had fresh roast chicken, salad and brown rice- with a glass of wine. Most people were just enjoying a small pastry and coffee - visiting and reading on their own. We then walked around - first garden the restaurant had a terrace - great for snapping shots. However that was the first one! So be prepared to do a lot of walking. You do have the option to trolley to the end and it's quite the distance so ask about it at the ticket area. There's specific stops and they don't do random stops. Insectorium is a small bug museum - if u like bugs. This place was catering to parties, museums and they do evening festivities. Look it up before you go. Take some bug spray and sunscreen. Also it was unfortunate the Chinese garden was closed and some of the flowers yet to bloom. But overall it was a day to be leisurely and enjoy the greenery!
