The Tuileries was created by the will of the fatal Queen of France Catherine de ' Medici. After the absurd death of her husband Henry II in a tournament, the Medici moved from the Tournelle Palace on the place des Vosges here to the Tuileries Palace. Closer to her crowned sons, none of whom she saved. The Palace didn`t survive. Catherine herself left the Palace, but the Bourbons who succeeded the Valois dynasty fell in love with the Tuileries. First Louis XV moved here, and then the Sixteenth. The latter went from here, first to prison, and then to the scaffold. But before that, the rebellious Parisians stormed the Tuileries despite the resistance of Swiss mercenaries, which the Danish sculptor Thorvaldsen installed a heartfelt Dying lion in Lucerne. However, the Tuileries survived both the Great revolution and the July 1830 and 1848 revolutions. It didn`t survive the Paris commune. Only the garden remains of the Tuileries. The garden was laid out around the Palace. However, you will not find anything from the Renaissance. The reason is simple. Famous Le Nôtre worked here. And where Le Nôtre is, there is a French regular garden. Everything is drawn geometrically correctly, paths are laid, bushes are trimmed, pseudo-antique sculptures are placed. This is a truncated version of Versailles. Absolutely, but somewhat boring. In my humble opinion. Only the Ferris wheel and attractions in summer delight tourists and especially. My daughter also rode two of them..That's why she liked this garden.…

A huge garden right next to the Louvre museum. You can jog here, read a book or just relax under the sun.

We went to Jardin des Tuileries after visiting the Louvre. It is a wonderful garden with the lot! A place to relax and unwind and just laze about in a beautiful environment. We have been to these gardens every time we have visited Paris and love the place.

Arrived this morning at 11am and there was no one. Could sit around the first pool with the cascade. It was quiet and peaceful. You can hire boats, ride ponies, there's a giant wheel, 2 coffee shops in the shade, huge gardens with flowers. A must see in Paris.
