The Luxembourg gardens in Paris

A real Parisian favorite, the Luxembourg garden is a beautiful 25 hectares green oasis on Paris fashionable left bank. Spread with statues, fountains and flowers, the garden has many attractions for children (pony's, merry-go-round, puppet shows). It is constantly animated by lovers, students and outdoor chess and tennis players.

Located in the Luxembourg garden, the Luxembourg palace  was built in the 17th century by Marie de Medicis, a French queen, on the model of Palazzo Pitti in her native Florence.
