All the elegance of French gardens
The Garden is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is very classical, and houses a museum of modern art, the Musée de l'Orangerie, as well as collections of contemporary art.
Created in 1553, on the site of former tile factories, it was the park of the Tuileries Palace, which belonged to Catherine de Médicis and has now disappeared. It is the oldest and most typical French garden in Paris. Its main avenue stretches between two ponds. The two vast terraces frame the garden, offering fine views. The Terrasse du Bord de l'Eau is that of the Musée de l'Orangerie. The Terrasse des Feuillants is that of the Galerie nationale du Jeu de Paume. The avenues are lined with neatly trimmed trees. The children's playground does not detract from the beauty of the landscape. Stroll between the famous statues by Rodin and Maillol.
