The Botanical Garden of Cayenne is a pleasant green space on the outskirts of Cayenne, which, despite the fact that it sometimes lacks a little maintenance, constitutes a very beautiful space for relaxation. Created in 1879 by the Conseil Général to replace, on a smaller scale, the Jardin Royal des Plantes created in 1820 by the colonial administration, this garden became the Baduel nursery, which was later abandoned due to insufficient yields from the eleven-hectare operation.

Now stretching over three hectares, the Jardin Botanique de Cayenne is the city's largest landscaped green space, and is dedicated to walking and relaxation. Plants of seemingly infinite shapes and colors line the countless paths and tracks, while educational totems set up here and there along the way tell you all about their origins. Whether you're a Guianese resident or just passing through, you're sure to be amazed by the variety of plant species found here, starting with the ninety-nine different species in the palm family alone! Although not all of these species are represented in the botanical garden, you'll still be able to appreciate a fine sample. It should also be noted that the site is occasionally used as a backdrop for official events and other cultural festivals. A must for nature lovers!
