The École Du Breuil arboretum, or Paris arboretum, is located in Paris (France), in the Bois de Vincennes. It is one of the four poles of the Botanical Garden of the City of Paris with the Parc floral de Paris, also in the Bois de Vincennes, as well

In 1867, the municipal arboriculture school of Saint-Mandé was created, near the Daumesnil gate, at the instigation of the prefect Haussmann.

In 1936, the school was transferred to the Route de la Ferme, to the former Faisanderie farm as well as to adjoining land (former military land acquired by the city of Paris in 1936), and named École Du Breuil, named after its first director Alphonse Du Breuil.

Covering an area of 12 hectares, the arboretum now has nearly 1,400 trees, belonging to 112 genera: 485 species and 400 cultivars and varieties, for a total of 885 taxa. It also has a demonstration area dedicated to native hedges.
