Tuileries Garden
We would love to hear about your recent experience. Please share any pictures and review of the place you visited. We greatly appreciate your feedback!
The Tuileries Gardens take their name from the tile factories which previously stood on the site where Queen Catherine de Medici built the Palais des Tuileries in 1564. André Le Nôtre, the famous gardener of King Louis XIV, re-landscaped the gardens in 1664 to give them their current French formal garden style. The gardens, which separate the Louvre from the Place de la Concorde, are a pleasant place for walking and for culture for Parisians and tourists; Maillol statues stand alongside those of Rodin or Giacometti. The gardens’ two ponds are perfect places to relax by. The Musée de l’Orangerie, where visitors can admire the works of Monet, is in the south-west part of the Tuileries. From March to December, free tours in French are organized. Lovers of candyfloss and fairground rides will enjoy the Fête des Tuileries, from June to August.

Check the Weather: The Tuileries Garden is an open space, so it’s best to check the weather before your visit. If it’s going to rain, you might want to reschedule as there are limited covered areas in the garden.
Wear Comfortable Shoes: The garden is quite large, so you’ll be doing a lot of walking. Make sure to wear comfortable shoes to enjoy your stroll without any discomfort.
Visit the Orangerie Museum: Located in the southwest corner of the garden, the Orangerie Museum houses a collection of impressionist and post-impressionist masterpieces, including Monet’s Water Lilies. It’s a must-visit for art lovers.
Beware of Pickpockets: Like many tourist spots, the Tuileries Garden can attract pickpockets. Keep your belongings secure and be aware of your surroundings.
Enjoy the Outdoor Sculptures: The garden is home to numerous sculptures from artists like Rodin and Maillol. Take your time to appreciate these works of art as you stroll through the garden.
