When traveling through Paris; the most romantic city in the world, you might miss this little gem as you make your way to the Louvre. Nearly every tourist wants to rush to this museum to see greatest masterpieces of art ever created by man, but nestled in-between the Louvre Museum and Place de la Concorde (1st arrondissement), you will discover Le Jardin des Tuileries. Created in the French formal garden style by Andre Le Norte, the gardener of King Louis XIV in 1664, this public garden gives the tired traveler a point of respite with a spectacular view. Pull up a green metal chair to the edge of the large round fountain pond, put your feet up on the ledge and relax! The locals bring a bottle of wine, bread and cheese to enjoy while chatting about the events of the day. This point of relaxation gives one a chance to enjoy the giant Ferris wheel in the Place de la Concorde and the massive details of the majestic Louvre buildings. Rest your feet here and get ready to see the greatest art show on earth. The Jardin des Tuileries itself contains statues of Rodin and Giacometti and is free to the public.
