Tuileries Garden

The Tuileries Garden is located along the Seine River, adjacent to the Louvre Museum to the east and Place de la Concorde to the west. Beautiful statues can be seen everywhere in the woods in the garden and along the avenues, all from the hands of well-known French sculptors, so they are also known as "open-air museums". Historical changes In 1563, the then French Queen Catherine Medici built the Tuileries Palace and the Italian-style courtyard here. Later, it was re-planned by Le Notte, the garden designer who built the Versailles Garden, and the courtyard was changed into a rectangular French-style garden. The Tuileries Palace was razed to the ground during the French Revolution of 1871, but the Tuileries Gardens survived. Enjoy the statue Tuileries Garden adopts a symmetrical layout, the Arc de Triomphe runs through it, and the landscape design in the garden is very simple and refreshing. The patterned green space is laid on the ground like a woven carpet, solemn yet lively, with elegant paths inlaid around the green space and fountain. You can carefully appreciate the exquisite statues in the garden by famous masters, among which "The Kiss" (LeBaiser), "Eve" (Eve), "La Grande Ombre" (La Grande Ombre), "Meditation" by Rodin, the "father of French modernist sculpture" (MeditationAvecBras) (Bronze replicas of four works exhibited in the Tuileries Garden), the famous French sculptor Aimee Miller's "CassandresemetsouslaprotectiondePallas" (CassandresemetsouslaprotectiondePallas), etc., although some are replicas , but also well worth a look. Indulge in French relaxation and don't forget to sit by the octagonal pond in the middle of the Tuileries Gardens. There are fountains and wild ducks playing in the pool, and there are many chairs by the pool, which can be moved at will for visitors to rest. Around the pond are 12 sculptures themed on ancient myths and fables. You might as well sit on the "lazy chair" to bask in the sun for a while, feed the pigeons, and experience the leisurely and tranquil life of the French, which is also one of the pleasures of visiting the Tuileries Garden. If you are traveling with children, you can also go to the small playground in the Tuileries Garden. The Ferris wheel in the garden is very conspicuous. You must not miss it. Unlike the clean and leisurely places in other parts of the garden, the playground is full of vitality and children. Fun joy.
