- Jardin des Tuileries in Paris
Stretching from the Louvre to the Place de la Concorde, the Tuileries gardens (Jardins des Tuileries) have long been popular with bourgeois Parisian families taking their Sunday promenade, though nowadays, the chairs placed around the water-features are often occupied by tourists resting after a tour of the Louvre or one of the smaller galleries in the gardens, the Jeu de Paume and Orangerie.
Named after the medieval warren of tilemakers that once occupied the site, the Tuileries gradens are all that survive of the palace and grounds commissioned by Catherine de Medicis in the mid-sixteenth century. The palace was burnt down during the Paris Commune in 1871. Catherine took great interest in her garden and had a maze, a chequerboard of flowerbeds and formal vegetable gardens laid out, to be admired by guests at her sumptuous parties. A hundred years later, le Notre, who landscaped the grounds of Versailles, created the current schema of the gardens, installing a central axis, terrasses, and round and octagonal pools. Later, sculptures were brought here from Versailles and Marly, included Coysevox's rearing horses Fama and Mercury. The originals are now housed in the Richelieu wing of the Louvre and have been replaced by copies.
