| Map of the Colonial Exhibition in 1907 |
I read an article published by La Dépêche coloniale of the 3 Juin 1909 about the Jardin colonial in Nogent sur Marne, in the east suburb of Paris. This 'Agronomical Garden' was founded in 1899, it hosted a Colonial Exhibition in 1907. The Marie de Paris (Paris Municipal) acquired it in 2003 and is now renovating the pavilions. The newspaper Le Parisien covered the story here http://www.leparisien.fr/paris-75/paris-un-pavillon-colonial-restaure-au-jardin-tropical-du-bois-de-vincennes-16-08-2019-8134371.php
1864: Foundation of the Jardin botanique et zoologique in Saigon preceded this foundation of the administrative organ in the métropole
1902 : Foundation of the École nationale supérieure d’agriculture coloniale as an integral part of the Jardin colonial (this is to be linked to the article on 'La Ville de Saigon' in Revue indochinoise illustrée in 1893 recently read that gives details about the Botanical Gardin in Saigon including the administrative staff in charge of developing seeds and plants)

Economic expansion is to be supported by research in new plants in the colonies. I am also thinking about the foundation of the EFEO in 1899 in Indochina. Efforts were made from different parties (not always concerted) to create and master knowledge about Indochina
