If I Could Recommend Only One Garden in Paris,
It Would Be Luxembourg Gardens Conclusion: After visiting several gardens, Luxembourg Gardens is definitely the standout! 🌟 With its pools, trees, sculptures, flowers, lawns, and fountains, it creates a uniquely romantic atmosphere. Honestly, the famous Tuileries Garden and the Champs-Élysées Garden pale in comparison. 🌹🌳 History of the Park: The park was established in 1612 when Marie de’ Medici, the widow of King Henry IV, wanted to recreate a piece of her hometown Florence by building a replica of the Pitti Palace. That’s why you’ll find the Medici Fountain in the northeast corner. Park Features: 🏰 Luxembourg Palace, sculptures, and fountains. The Luxembourg Palace was once the residence of Queen Marie. Statues include the Statue of Liberty, completed in 1906. The oak trees behind it were planted after the 9/11 attacks, symbolizing the friendship between France and the USA. 🌿 Relaxation! Strong Vibes of Relaxation! This is the most intense feeling you’ll experience in this park. Whether it’s people sunbathing on benches, strolling through the park, or exercising (jogging, yoga, skipping), everyone exudes a powerful sense of tranquility. 😌✨ #Paris #ParisGuide #LuxembourgGardens #MediciFountain #StatueOfLiberty
