The Tuileries Gardens
The Tuileries Gardens lie between the bustling Place
de la Concorde and the popular Louvre Museum.
The central walkway continues the line of the Champs-Élysées
to the Arc de Triomphe du Carrosel and ultimately the Pyramid du Louvre.
The Tuileries name comes from a separate palace near the Louvre, the Tuileries, which was built by Catherine de Medici. The palace was attacked during the Revolution, and then burned to the ground during the uprising in 1871. Today's Tuileries offer a peaceful rest on benches beneath the trees,
along the gravel walkways. Links to addtional information about the Tuileries: |
