Review:

True to French sensibilities, the Tuileries Garden are a work of art. Taking their name from the tile factories that previously stood on the site when Queen Catherine de Medici built the Palais des Tuileries in 1564, the grounds were formally re-landscaped in 1664.


Today, the formal French gardens separate the Louvre from the Place de la Concorde and are dotted with Maillol, Rodin, and Giacometti statues. However, visitors who are more keen to rest their weary feet than wander the grounds can meditate by the gardens' two ponds or admire Monet's impressionistic works amid a natural setting at the Musée de l'Orangerie.
