A very pretty, very central park, located between the Louvre and the Place de la Concorde
The Tuileries Garden is one of the oldest parks in Paris. A model of the so-called “French-style” gardens, it owes its current appearance to André Le Nôtre, who had already distinguished himself at Vaux le Vicomte and then who created the gardens of the Palace of Versailles.
The Tuileries are one of the most beautiful parks in Paris. Ideally located, it is good to rest after a stroll in one of the museums that surround it (the Louvre, Orsay or the Orangerie) or after the descent of the Champs Elysées. If it is not the Parisian park richest in activities for children (no puppets, no ponies…), on the other hand its very central location makes it a very pleasant haven of peace for a lunch break or snack for example.
