I was in France last November, visiting my wife's family and while there, I did a bit of tropical plant sightings. Auchan Drive supermarket had a stunning plant wall covering the entire sides of the building, Carre Senart Mall had lush tropical interior landscaping (including another plant wall), and Truffaut Garden Center had one of the most impressive tropical plant selection I've ever seen.

Huge pothos plants at Truffaut garden center. These aren't even the biggest leaves on the plant.
Very large Monstera Deliciosa plant at Truffaut garden center. A bit of trivia: I was partially inspired
to start this blog when I was in France a few years ago and first spotted this plant. The photo below
is from that first visit. My blog was originally called Garden Monsters in honor of this plant.
Small palms at Truffaut garden center.
Gunnera plants at Truffaut garden center. These plants are also known as Giant Rubarb
or Dinosaur Food, because of their humongous size when fully grown. I'd have one
of these in my garden if they didn't grow to the size of small houses.
