The Verrière atlas lists 4 greenhouses in France, built between 1684 and 1895.
France preserves major milestones in the history of glass: the Orangery at Versailles (1684–1686), the Grandes Serres of the Jardin des Plantes in Paris, among the world's first iron-framed glasshouses, those of Lyon's Parc de la Tête d'Or, and the Jardin des Serres d'Auteuil on the edge of the Bois de Boulogne.
