Jardin des Plantes
His best-known work was probably carried out for the French National Museum of Natural History : the "galerie de Zoologie" ('Gallery of Zoology', since 1994 renamed as "Gallery of Evolution") in the Jardin des Plantes in Paris, a transitional work combining classical rhythms and ornamental details with cast-iron structure and a glass roof. Also for the French Museum of Natural History, André designed , the first "jardin d'hiver" (winter garden) in the "Jardin des Plantes". Inaugurated in 1889, this large greenhouse was demolished in 1934 and replaced on the same footprint by the current "jardin d'hiver" of the "Jardin des Plantes", inaugurated in 1937 and designed by architect René-Félix Berger (1878-1954).
