This green, urban oasis is deeply connected to the history of Paris, as it was created upon the initiative of Queen Marie de Medici after the assassination of Henri IV. The showpiece of the gardens is of course the magnificent Luxembourg Palace, a formal royal residence now housing the French Senate. Nowadays, the 60-acre park is a popular hanging out spot for Parisians, known for extraordinary public amenities. You will enter the park through the entrance next to Musée du Luxembourg, the oldest contemporary art museum.
See some of the 106 statues spread throughout the park, such as the Chopin Statue, Statue of Liberty and bronze figure of ‘David, winner of Goliath’. Walk past the Pavillon Davioud and enjoy the large green space with ponds as well as French and English gardens.
