Tuileries Garden

Tuileries Garden

Introduction This 25-hectare park, located between the Louvre and Place de la Concorde, was built in 1644 and is a classic work by royal landscape architect André Le Nôtre. The park’s name comes from the numerous tile kilns that once fired bricks for the surrounding area. With its symmetrical layout, the patterned green areas spread out like an embroidered carpet—majestic yet lively—while beautiful statues and elegant pathways are scattered around the lawns and fountains.

The park is surrounded by some of Paris’s most famous landmarks: the Louvre, Place de la Concorde, Musée d'Orsay, and more, making it the perfect spot to take a rest when you're tired.

Originally the garden of the Tuileries Palace, the palace was destroyed by fire in 1871. After its demolition, the Louvre, which had been hidden behind it, became part of the city’s scenery and also marked the starting point of the Champs-Élysées axis.
