Tuileries Garden, Paris

The Jardin des Tuileries takes its name from the tile factories that once stood on the site where Queen Catherine de Médicis had the Tuileries Palace built in 1564, a palace that no longer exists today. From 1664 onwards, the king's famous gardener André Le Nôtre gave it its current French garden appearance.

The garden, bordered by the Seine and separating the Louvre Museum from the Place de la Concorde, is a place for Parisians and tourists to stroll and enjoy culture, where statues by Maillol stand alongside those by Rodin and Giacometti. The two pools are ideal for relaxing.

To the south-west of the Tuileries is the Musée de l'Orangerie, where visitors can admire works by Monet. And for fans of candyfloss, merry-go-rounds and thrills, there's the Tuileries Festival from June to August.
