Originally designed for Tuileries Palace in 1564 for Catherine de' Medici, this enchanting Parisian public garden located between the Louvre and Place de la Concorde contains elegant statues, serene ponds and quaint cafes. The Tuileries Gardens, or Jardin des Tuileries, was named after the clay soil that was used to make tiles. It was redesigned in 1664 by Andre Le Nôtre and opened to the public in 1667. Notable sites in and around the gardens include the Louvre, Place de la Concorde,The Orangerie, Place du Carrousel and The Jeu de Paume.
