• Toilets but no changing table, so bring a mat for babies; the toilets are wheelchair accessible and there are drinking fountains
• Open day and night, every day of the year, so it works for an early run-around or an after-dinner walk
• Two ways in, by Pont de Sully or at Place Valhubert, which faces the Jardin des Plantes for a combined outing

A long, narrow garden on the Left Bank of the Seine, running along Quai Saint-Bernard between Pont de Sully and Place Valhubert. Kids get a playground, a skate park, ping-pong tables, a soccer pitch and street workout bars, with sculptures set along the riverside paths.
