Located in the Sixth Arrondissement of Paris, the Luxembourg Gardens are a well-known and popular garden between the Latin Quarter and Saint-Germain-des-Pres.
Inspired by the Boboli Gardens in Florence, the 25-acre Luxembourg Gardens were created in 1612 by Marie de Medici, the widow of King Henry IV of France, as a part of her new residence, the Luxembourg Palace.
Today, the French Senate makes use of the palace, and visitors enjoy going to the park because of its flowerbeds, tree-lined promenades, the beautiful 1620 Medici Fountain, and much more. It is divided into an English Garden and French Garden with a forest and large pond between the two areas.
