The
spectacular Tuileries Gardens (Paris), Jardin des Tuileries can be
found just between the Louvre and the Place de la Concorde. It was
designed in 1564 by Catherine de Medicis as a garden for the Tuileries
Palace (for Louis XIV). The Tuileries Gardens are probably the most
French garden you could find all across Paris, with fine rows of trees
and well-formed paths. The garden has opened its gates for everyone to
stroll in, back in 1667 but it only became a public park after the
French Revolution. It was once the place to see and be seen in Paris and
as of today, it is the place where locals meet to enjoy a nice
afternoon walk or just relax.
The Tuileries Gardens Paris takes its name from the fact that this area
was once populated with rood tiles factories, made in a special oven
called tuileries. The Tuileries Gardens were well documented by many
impressionists’ painters such as Monet and Renoir which seems to love
the lively colors reflected by the many flowers, grass and water.
There are also huge 18 bronzes statues in the Tuileries Gardens created by Maillol.
If you happen to be here in the summer (July and August), make sure you
are taking a Ferris wheel ride to see the lovely views of the
traditional funfair (www.feteforaine-jardindestuileries.com) which takes
places just besides Rue de Rivoli.
