The Tuileries Garden is one of the most popular visits within the city of Paris, attracting Parisians and tourists alike all year round to walk its paths and sit by its fountains. it extends from Place de la Concorde in the west to the Louvre in the east and is bordered to the north by the rue de Rivoli and to the south by the Seine. Like all grand things in the city it links back to the French Royals. In 1553 Catherine de Médicis decided to settle in the Louvre and acquired the land that had been home to tile factories since the 12th century (thus the name) to form an Italian-style park which was later restyled by order of Louis XIV to be the gardens we know today.

What is now regarded as the main entrance to the gardens, from Place de la Concorde was not the original access, that was from the former 'Palace des Tuileries' which once connected the wings of the west side of the Louvre in front of the Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel. The palace was destroyed by burning during the 'Paris Commune' in May 1871 and despite much talk and gestures, was never restored.
