Jardin Atlantique

The Jardin Atlantique is an oasis of green set high amongst the buildings above Montparnasse station, which has been offering Parisians a welcome breath of fresh air since 1994.

Between 7 and 18 metres above the roads beneath, the garden is accessed via the Rue du Commandant Mouchotte and Boulevard de Vaugirard by lift. The main entrance is behind the station in Place des Cinq Martyrs du Lycée Buffon.
