★★★★★6 months agoAbsolutely beautiful garden – I truly loved this place Jardin des Tuileries is one of the most beautiful and peaceful places in Paris, and I really loved it. The garden is perfectly maintained, with wide paths, fountains, green spaces, and plenty of chairs to sit and relax. Its location is excellent, right next to the Louvre Museum and within walking distance of many major attractions. Walking through this garden feels very calming and refreshing, especially after visiting busy places in the city. This place made me feel happy, relaxed, and peaceful from the heart. A perfect spot for walking, resting, photos, and enjoying the beauty of Paris. A must-visit place and highly recommended!

★★★★★a month agoBeautiful garden just outside the Louvre. I went and got me some culture. Ancient sculptures, and a not so ancient Ferris Wheel. Caffe in the center. With umbrellas, which were appreciated during the 95° it was when we were there. ♿️
