Cool Mum No, Fulltime Home Maker Yes : ....ingat nak Shortcut but turns into one long LEISURELY stroll...

Yes,

in this beautiful Park or Garden of

The Jardin des Tuileries

is a formal Paris garden that is

stamped with history...

Today,

the remaining gardens are a major source of fresh air and greenery...

The gardens are filled with dramatic marvelous statuary and sculptures awaiting to be immortalized through your photos.

Located amidst the Louvre,

ie Jardin offers an escape from the

crowded museum...

The Tuileries gardens stretch west towards Concorde and the Champs Elyees and are the stating point of the "Triumphant Line"

(a nearby straight path leading from the Louvre to the Arc de Triomphe and the Grande Arche de la Defense west of Paris).

A shortcut through here...

will certainly be a long leisurely stroll...

bcoz

the place is just very beautiful to enjoy...

take photographs...

enjoy the scenery...

the sculptures and statues...

well manicured trees,

ponds and fountains....

people watching....

etc etc...

you don't want to leave..

well the kids especially...

It is said that this used to be the backyard where the King strolled when staying at the Louvre.

(nowdays it makes a nice stroll after seeing the Louvre Museum and

feeling overwhelmed by it.)

Commissioned by Catherine de Medicis in the 16th Century.
Jardin des Tuileries was the garden for her residence, Palais des Tuileries..
The garden and palace were created on a land that had been a quarry for tiles, hence the name.
The demolition of the Palais des Tuileries after the fire of 1870 opened the garden to the courtyard of the Louvre.

Children love to sail boats in the Tuileries...
you can rent small sailboats your child can sail in the fountain.
Really a great way for kids to play and parents to sit in a nearby chair and relax for a while.

Just Envy the exclusive apartments that look out over the park...

bestnyer mereka....

Tell me about this view...

fuuuhhhhh...

ni winter time...

just imagine in Summer...

lagi cantik..

The trees followed an organized French design with straight paths to walk on.

The statues around here are by name artists. You can look them up in the guide if you wish.

If I am not mistaken...

the buildings around this area are

Musee de I'Orangeries and

Galerie Nationale du Jeu de Paume

(originally Napoleon III's indoor tennis court).

Just luv sitting down relaxing

& enjoying the Sunset.

This area is the largest square in Paris.

This square holds arguable one of the best views of Paris, with the peak of the Eiffel Tower,

the expansive square itself

and down the Champs Elysees...

This is Place de la Concorde

The Luxor Obelisk

(French : Obelisque e Luoxor)

Offered to France as a gift.

What is the Obelisk?

well, it's a red granite column, rises 23 meters high, including the base, and weighs over 250 metric tons. It is decorated with hieroglyphics exalting the reign of the pharaoh Ramses II.
