Île-de-France

In the heart of Paris, this 22.4 ha garden is one of the oldest and most prestigious in the capital. It is listed as a Historic Monument, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and has the Remarkable Garden label. Located on the former site of tuilier ovens, the Tuileries tell nearly five centuries of history of the gardens. Created by Catherine de Medici in 1564, they owe most of their personality to André Le Nôtre, the gardener of Louis XIV, who recreated them in 1664\. But this garden is also contemporary: it was regenerated by Pascal Cribier and Louis Benech in the 1990s. Beautifully maintained by a dedicated team of art gardeners and sculptural restorers, it depends on the under-management of the gardens of the Louvre Museum. A veritable open-air sculpture museum, rich in masterpieces ranging from the 17th century to contemporary art, the Tuileries Garden offers walkers flowers renewed every year and varied atmospheres. You should not hesitate to enjoy the cafés and restaurants, children’s
