Jardin du Luxembourg

The Jardin du Luxembourg is a private garden open to the public, in the 6th arrondissement of Paris. Created in 1612 at the request of Marie de' Medici to accompany the Luxembourg Palace, it was restored under the First Empire by the architect Jean-François-Thérèse Chalgrin and now belongs to the Senate. It covers 23 hectares (21 open to the public), with flower beds and sculptures. A favourite haunt of Parisians, it also attracts visitors from all over the world.
