Visitors can stroll past meticulously maintained lawns and flower beds, admire the sculptures by artists like Rodin and Maillol, or relax by one of the two large basins that reflect the Parisian sky. The Jardin des Tuileries is an essential stop for anyone exploring the French capital, offering both beauty and tranquility.
