Luxembourg Gardens
Classic Parisian park with chairs, fountains and a palace.
For storytellers
Why Luxembourg Gardens matters
The Luxembourg Gardens are where Parisians go to sit. Green metal chairs are scattered around a pond, children sail toy boats, and statues line the lawns. The palace at the end houses the French Senate and is not open to casual visitors.
Talking points
- Children still sail small boats on the central pond.
- The green park chairs are a Parisian tradition.
- Great for a picnic or an afternoon off.
