- Melanie TNew York City, New York7,009 contributionsBeautiful well kept gardensWhat a nice garden! The grounds are huge. It connects the Musee de l'Orangerie and the Louvre. After we saw the line for Musee de l'Orangerie was way too long, we decided to ditch those plans and stroll through the garden instead. It was around 11 am on a Wednesday and there were so many people sitting by the fountains. Made me wonder if they had work or not, or if French people just know how to enjoy life. There was also some kind of summer carnival going on at the time (mid-August) complete with food vendors, and some pretty impressive temporary amusement park rides. The grounds are well kept and the park is clean. I could definitely see me having some picnics here if I was a local. Overall, great spot for a break from city life and enjoy some fresh air.Visited August 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 26 October 2023
- David nManchester, United Kingdom4,780 contributionsNovember - not a good time to go... as there is little to see. Sure the sculptures / copies are very well kept (though one depicting a sea god with accompanying cherubs many of whom have lost their heads literally) but the gardens are bare and the sandy paths are puddled. People were trying to make the best of it sitting on wet chairs at the side of pools of water around fountains.Visited November 2023Travelled soloWritten 24 November 2023
- Mike SwallowBrisbane, Australia478 contributionsBeautiful!Stunning and we had a beautiful day to enjoy this park. We came across it when walking from the Louvre which is right beside it. Found a nice spot to get a glass of wine and watch the world go by. Beautiful and well worth a walk around after visiting the Louvre.Visited December 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 29 December 2023
- Thomas VOakland, California18,134 contributionsA Green BreakA huge garden next to the Louvre, named for the tile workshop that was here prior to the 18th Century. The big garden is full of sculpture and art, as well as fountains. Lots of people come here for a green break, even in cold weather. When it is warm, all sorts of flowers are in bloom.Visited December 2023Travelled soloWritten 22 January 2024
- Stassy OSofia, Bulgaria81 contributionsPerfect place for a coffee stroll ☕️It would be best if you visit the garden during spring or summer, as it will be more vibrant. We when there two times, but it was cloudy and part of garden were not accessible as they were renovating. The place is really beautiful and I recommend to visit it in the morning. It’s close to the Louvre, Musée d’Orsay and Musée de l'Orangerie.Visited March 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten 13 March 2024

This shot is a very common one to see if you’ve ever looked into visiting Paris. Located between the Louvre and the Place de la Concorde it offers a large open space to sit back and enjoy the views. Originally it was a private garden when the Louvre was all closed off but now it currently serves as a gathering place for tourists and locals. Unfortunately during the winter they do not turn on many of the fountains and the leaves from many of the trees have fallen so it does not have as dramatic of a look. However, while we were there they had a small Christmas festival located here which we really enjoyed. Up until January 5th you can stop by there to try different foods and desserts and buy some souvenirs to take back home. Because this location is so central to many popular landmarks we often found ourselves stopping by the gardens or walking through them on a daily basis. Businesses are also aware of this so it is located just south of many hotels and touring companies. If you book any large group tours and charter bus excursions your meet up point will likely be around here since many of those businesses are located nearby. If you want to be able to fully enjoy the beauty of the gardens then opt to visit in the spring/summer or fall to see the changing of colors and the fountains running. Nevertheless, it is still a place you have to stop by even if just to walk by on your way to another location.

The Tuileries park is a big central landscaped park in the very city center, stretching from the Concorde sq all the way to Louvre. It's a French manicured park with an octagonal lake in the middle with many chairs around to sit, relax and enjoy the beauty.
At Christmas now, there were many food and wine stalls around which just added to the atmosphere. Certainly, a must see place in Paris.

After our visit to the Louvre Museum, we took a short stroll through the well-maintained Louvre Tuileries Gardens. With the Seine on one side and several fine water features and monuments to walk past, many people were gathering to enjoy the fine weather. It is one of Paris’s most enjoyed green expanses and all fifty-five acres are free to walk through.

The Tuileries was created by the will of the fatal Queen of France Catherine de ' Medici. After the absurd death of her husband Henry II in a tournament, the Medici moved from the Tournelle Palace on the place des Vosges here to the Tuileries Palace. Closer to her crowned sons, none of whom she saved. The Palace didn`t survive. Catherine herself left the Palace, but the Bourbons who succeeded the Valois dynasty fell in love with the Tuileries. First Louis XV moved here, and then the Sixteenth. The latter went from here, first to prison, and then to the scaffold. But before that, the rebellious Parisians stormed the Tuileries despite the resistance of Swiss mercenaries, which the Danish sculptor Thorvaldsen installed a heartfelt Dying lion in Lucerne. However, the Tuileries survived both the Great revolution and the July 1830 and 1848 revolutions. It didn`t survive the Paris commune. Only the garden remains of the Tuileries. The garden was laid out around the Palace. However, you will not find anything from the Renaissance. The reason is simple. Famous Le Nôtre worked here. And where Le Nôtre is, there is a French regular garden. Everything is drawn geometrically correctly, paths are laid, bushes are trimmed, pseudo-antique sculptures are placed. This is a truncated version of Versailles. Absolutely, but somewhat boring. In my humble opinion. Only the Ferris wheel and attractions in summer delight tourists and especially. My daughter also rode two of them..That's why she liked this garden.

The Tuileries Garden is a large major historic landmark. An open-air sculpture garden of over 200 exceptional statues and vases are on display. It is a beautiful area to stroll, relax, sit by the fountain, and enjoy the statues, running between the Louve and Place de la Concorde. Built by Catherine de Medicis, widow of King Henri II, it served as a royal garden. designed to be viewed from the Palais des Tuileries that she was also having built. All three of our family members loved these gardens. Not to be missed.

Walking beyond the Arc du Triomphe we enter the huge Tuileries Garden , a public open garden which spans between the Louvre and Place de la Concorde. There are 6 ponds of different size and shapes. There is a big octagonal one close to the Concorde. Visitors can sit to do crowd watching or watch sun set.

After visiting the Louvre, we walked through this very well maintained public park. There are many statues, buildings and good people watching along the way to the Egyptian Monument at the Place de la Concorde. Then walked alongside the river to the Champs-Elysees. This was a nice easy walk.

This is a superb park and still alive with Parisian culture, despite tourist popularity.
I used to spend time in the area researching George Orwell, who used to work as a dishwasher in a grand hotel close to the park.
I'm an author and I visited on this occasion in order to do some final research for a book of short stories - People I've Met On The Road. I felt this park was exactly the kind of spot to give me inspiration about life in old Paris at the turn of the century and also since then. In the 1960's when I used to come here, it was popular with hippies and people even sunbathed naked. One does not see this now!
There are plenty of excellent cafes and bistros in this area. Too many to list here. I recommend spending a full day in the area. If you are on a small budget, bring a picnic and a bottle of wine to enjoy in the park. But please don't leave any rubbish 😁

The Tuileries is a fantastic park any time of year. You can see the line from Arc de Triomphe to the Concorde obelisk to Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel with plenty of places to sit among the trees or by the fountains. It’s excellent in fall when the leaves change. But from late November to New Years they do a really nice Christmas market complete with sausages, hot wines, gift shopping, rides, and games. For the Brits, it’s like a tighter version of Hyde Park’s Winter Wonderland, except admission is free and things cost less.

Jardin des Tuileries is a must to see. If you have a young kid with you I highly recommend you to take a baby cart with you.
The whole garden is amazing and it is no wonder why it is one of the iconic sceneries of Paris.

Yes, there are public restrooms and they charge around .7 Euros last time we were there. It is on the left just before you get to the ferris wheel when walking from the Louvre.

Hi George & Dobbie: As you no doubt know Paris (& France in general are) is well known by the many places to eat & drink. There are always places to "relieve oneself" and the Tuleries are no exception--- but may be a bit hard-ish to find....
One such place is near the entrance to the garden closest to the very interesting Place de la Concorge.
I hope that this response has been helpful!!
