Tuileries Garden

The Tuileries Garden is one of the largest parks in France, and it is also considered the oldest garden in the world. The park's territory is 25.5 hectares and is located in the very center of Paris.

The Tuileries Garden was created back in the 16th century, and its unusual design is taken as an example by many park creators in our time. If we translate the name of the park into our language, we get a simple phrase that sounds like "tile factory". And this is not for nothing, because the location of the Tuileries garden is located on the territory of the quarry where the clay was extracted, from which the tiles were made.

In 1559 Catherine de' Medici ordered the construction of the Tuileries Mansion in the area, which was surrounded by an excellent Italian-style garden. After a while, the garden was transformed, thanks to the architect Andre Lonotra, who is the developer of Versailles. Behind his project, there is also a wonderful Seine embankment that complements the garden.

Since the time of Louis XIV, the Tuileries Garden has become accessible to ordinary visitors. This area was loved by both the townspeople themselves and travelers from other countries. The park's territory is successfully decorated with wonderful flower beds, lawns of green manicured grass, and pools of water. The Tuileries Garden is filled with various paths, as well as wide alleys that smoothly merge into the famous streets of Champs-Elysees or Rivoli.

In the 18th century, various souvenir stalls, benches for relaxation, as well as cafes and toilets appeared on the territory of the Tuileries Garden. But still, after the death of Louis XIV himself, the garden turned out to be useless to anyone, as it required constant investment. And even the architect of the park himself found it in complete decline. And during the revolution in the country, the local Tuileries Palace was burned down.

Not very long ago, in 1989, a decree was issued, which dealt with the restoration of the city's landmark called the Tuileries Garden. At this time, all the details of the ancient design of the park are being renewed, as well as modern sculptures are being created.

The Tuileries Garden is located away from the hustle and bustle of the city and noisy highways. Here you can dream peacefully in the shade or relax culturally, because there are a couple of museums on the territory of the garden, which have been preserved as remnants of the former palace. There are also wonderful galleries and greenhouses.

The modern Tuileries Garden is becoming more and more popular among tourists, and in terms of speed, it will become on a par with the most famous symbols of France.
