Luxembourg Gardens

Introduction Luxembourg Gardens is the largest park in Paris. It is a vibrant and picturesque park, featuring busts and monuments inscribed with quotes from thinkers and poets, as well as green iron chairs placed beneath tall ancient trees. Relaxed Parisians can be found here playing cards, chess, or the traditional game of pétanque, while university students enjoy romantic moments by the Medici Fountain.

Luxembourg Gardens was built in 1615 by Maria de' Medici, the queen of Henry IV. It served as a prison during the French Revolution and is now the seat of the French Senate. Admission/Open Hours Open hours: Summer 7:30–21:30, Winter 9:00–17:00
