Jardin des Tuileries

The lungs of Paris, between the Louvre Museum and Place de la Concorde, are the Jardin des Tuileries. It is considered one of the most historic and beautiful gardens in the city.

However, at the beginning of the 17th century, King Louis XIV ordered his gardener André Le Nôtre to re-landscape them in a French formal style, which is still in place today.
