The Jardin des Tuileries, or the Tuileries Garden, is a public garden on Rue de Rivoli between the Place de la Concorde and the Louvre Museum in the First Arrondissement of Paris. It was created by Catherine de Medici in 1564 as the garden for her Tuileries Palace. Later, in 1667, it was opened to the public, and it became a public park after the French Revolution.

For several hundred years, especially during the 19th and 20th century, it was a popular place for Parisians to meet, relax, and walk. Features of the garden include numerous sculptures, two ponds, the Musee de l’Orangerie, labyrinths, and the Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel.
