    Beautiful well kept gardens
    What a nice garden! The grounds are huge. It connects the Musee de l'Orangerie and the Louvre. After we saw the line for Musee de l'Orangerie was way too long, we decided to ditch those plans and stroll through the garden instead. It was around 11 am on a Wednesday and there were so many people sitting by the fountains. Made me wonder if they had work or not, or if French people just know how to enjoy life. There was also some kind of summer carnival going on at the time (mid-August) complete with food vendors, and some pretty impressive temporary amusement park rides. The grounds are well kept and the park is clean. I could definitely see me having some picnics here if I was a local. Overall, great spot for a break from city life and enjoy some fresh air.

    November - not a good time to go
    ... as there is little to see. Sure the sculptures / copies are very well kept (though one depicting a sea god with accompanying cherubs many of whom have lost their heads literally) but the gardens are bare and the sandy paths are puddled. People were trying to make the best of it sitting on wet chairs at the side of pools of water around fountains.

    Beautiful!
    Stunning and we had a beautiful day to enjoy this park. We came across it when walking from the Louvre which is right beside it. Found a nice spot to get a glass of wine and watch the world go by. Beautiful and well worth a walk around after visiting the Louvre.

    A Green Break
    A huge garden next to the Louvre, named for the tile workshop that was here prior to the 18th Century. The big garden is full of sculpture and art, as well as fountains. Lots of people come here for a green break, even in cold weather. When it is warm, all sorts of flowers are in bloom.

    Perfect place for a coffee stroll ☕️
    It would be best if you visit the garden during spring or summer, as it will be more vibrant. We when there two times, but it was cloudy and part of garden were not accessible as they were renovating. The place is really beautiful and I recommend to visit it in the morning. It’s close to the Louvre, Musée d’Orsay and Musée de l'Orangerie.

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.

The Tuileries Garden is a large major historic landmark. An open-air sculpture garden of over 200 exceptional statues and vases are on display. It is a beautiful area to stroll, relax, sit by the fountain, and enjoy the statues, running between the Louve and Place de la Concorde. Built by Catherine de Medicis, widow of King Henri II, it served as a royal garden. designed to be viewed from the Palais des Tuileries that she was also having built. All three of our family members loved these gardens. Not to be missed.

Walking beyond the Arc du Triomphe we enter the huge Tuileries Garden , a public open garden which spans between the Louvre and Place de la Concorde. There are 6 ponds of different size and shapes. There is a big octagonal one close to the Concorde. Visitors can sit to do crowd watching or watch sun set.

After visiting the Louvre, we walked through this very well maintained public park. There are many statues, buildings and good people watching along the way to the Egyptian Monument at the Place de la Concorde. Then walked alongside the river to the Champs-Elysees. This was a nice easy walk.

This is a superb park and still alive with Parisian culture, despite tourist popularity.
I used to spend time in the area researching George Orwell, who used to work as a dishwasher in a grand hotel close to the park.
I'm an author and I visited on this occasion in order to do some final research for a book of short stories - People I've Met On The Road. I felt this park was exactly the kind of spot to give me inspiration about life in old Paris at the turn of the century and also since then. In the 1960's when I used to come here, it was popular with hippies and people even sunbathed naked. One does not see this now!
There are plenty of excellent cafes and bistros in this area. Too many to list here. I recommend spending a full day in the area. If you are on a small budget, bring a picnic and a bottle of wine to enjoy in the park. But please don't leave any rubbish 😁

The Tuileries is a fantastic park any time of year. You can see the line from Arc de Triomphe to the Concorde obelisk to Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel with plenty of places to sit among the trees or by the fountains. It’s excellent in fall when the leaves change. But from late November to New Years they do a really nice Christmas market complete with sausages, hot wines, gift shopping, rides, and games. For the Brits, it’s like a tighter version of Hyde Park’s Winter Wonderland, except admission is free and things cost less.

Jardin des Tuileries is a must to see. If you have a young kid with you I highly recommend you to take a baby cart with you.
The whole garden is amazing and it is no wonder why it is one of the iconic sceneries of Paris.

When in Paris I took a walk through the Jardin des Tuileries from the Place de la Concorde to the Louvre. It was a very pleasant walk (even in November) through this public garden that was originally created by Catherine de' Medici as the garden of the Tuileries Palace in 1564. It was just over a century before the garden was opened to the public after the French Revolution in 1667. Since the 19th century, it has been a place where Parisians celebrate, meet, stroll and relax. There are works of art to admire, cafes, places to sit by one of the two ornamental ponds and playgrounds for kids.

This is an another beautiful garden in Paris. It is such a beautiful setting and visiting in the spring affords one the opportunity to see lovely tulips, daffodils and flowering trees. On a sunny warm spring day the city comes out and enjoys the garden. People come out and sit in the chairs by the ponds/fountains and enjoy the sunshine and one another’s company and it is a wonderful location for a picnic of bread, cheese and wine. Take a stroll in the garden and end up at the beautiful Louvre.

Returning from my stays in Africa, every year, I never fail to go for a walk in the Jardin des Tuileries, which extends the Carrousel du Louvre, in a beautiful perspective, up to the Arc de Triomphe de l'Etoile. The weather is nice and the tourists are already there, enjoying this garden with its beautiful spring colors. It is also a real open-air art museum where each work tells a story!! Around the pools, on the squares lined with lawns and flower beds, there is a choice of places to take a break. I like to go and see if, at the edge of the South Exèdre basin, Apollo is still chasing Daphne!! I find my favorite places, like the small green enclosure of the vowel tree. Some works have changed places, such as that of "the Crowd" by the artist Raymond Mason, which is located at the foot of the staircase, which gives access to the Waterfront Terraces. From this very peaceful place, you can enjoy a beautiful panoramic view of the garden and the Seine. My tour finished, I pass through the Louvre, to enjoy the perspectives of the pyramids. But the pools still do not have water, the city of Paris manages this poorly, even though there are already many tourists who could benefit from it!!
