Beauty is cultivated at the Jardin des Plantes! This is the credo of Chanel, which is offering us the chance to discover the secrets behind the manufacture of its skincare products in a free presentation. The program includes an installation that opens the doors of its "open-air laboratories", where the plants used in its skincare products are produced.

Chanel wishes to explain that "the invention of an active ingredient does not exist without the invention of the gesture that accompanies it". In the museum's Mineralogy gallery, but also and above all an ode to plants, including vanilla, green coffee and camellia, respectively produced in Madagascar, Costa Rica and France. They will be accompanied by rare items conserved by the Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle, all in a scenography that attempts to reproduce nature.
