Jardin des Tuileries

The Jardin des Tuileries is a 55-acre public garden in the center of Paris, situated between the Louvre and the Place de la Concorde. It is one of the best places to visit in Paris. The park has been open to the public since the 17th century, even though it was initially only intended for use by the royal family and court. In 1991, it was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List as a component of the Banks of the Seine.

The green area has played a significant part in French history. For instance, Napoleon and Marie-Louise's procession marched through the gardens on its way to the couple's wedding feast in the now-defunct Palace des Tuileries. Foreign dignitaries once convened for meetings in the Jardin des Tuileries. Today, both locals and visitors to Paris enjoy strolling around the park's tree-lined walks, enjoying picnics on the grass, or just relaxing on a green chair and people-watching. The park is a fantastic spot to unwind on your way to or from the Louvre, according to recent visitors. At the southwest corner of the gardens, you may also find the Musée de l'Orangerie close by. Restaurants, a bookstore, a carousel, and other amenities may be found in the gardens. The hours of the Jardin des Tuileries change with the season. Year-round, the park opens at 7 or 7:30 a.m., although in the winter and summer, closing times can be as early as 7:30 p.m. or as late as 11 p.m.
