Jardin des Tuileries

March 13th, 2008

Opposite the place de la Concorde. Sixty acres (24 hactares) designed by Le Nôtre stretching from the place de la Concorde to the place du Carrousel, inclunding a splendid Orangerie which houses temporary exhibitions and the Jeu de Paume museum, now renovated to house major temporary exhibitions of 20th century art. A mini Arc de Triomphe built in 1805 commentares Napoleon’s victories, smaller than the real one which you can see by taking the path through the centre of the gardens.
