Located in the botanical gardens, here you can see the statue of Buffon who was once the director of the Jarin du Roi, which were the royal botanical gardens in Paris, and these are now called the Jardin des Plantes, which now has different museums and even a menagerie zoo within its grounds.

This next picture is a more close-up photo we took of the Buffon statue, which was actually sculpted in bronze by the artist Jean Carlus in 1908, even though the statue looks far older, yet it was placed on a concrete pedestal with a short inscription within the Jardin des Plantes, in memory of this historical naturalist.
