Tuileries Garden

This 23-hectare garden in the focal point of Paris, running close by the Seine and the Rue de Rivoli, extending between the Musée du Louver and the Place de la Concorde, draws around 14 million guests consistently. The garden was made in the sixteenth century by Catherine de Médicis, dowager of King Henri II, and was desingned to honour the Palais des Tuileries that she was also having built.Initially serving as an royal garden, in the seventeenth century it ended up plainly one of the main Parisian patio nurseries open to the public.

Several extraordinary scene plant specialists have chipped away at the garden: among them, André Le Nôtre, who upgraded it from 1664; and, as of late, Pascal Cribier and Louis Benech, who built up the site in connection to the "GrandLouver" project in the 1990s.
