Jardin du Luxembourg

Located on the edge of Saint-Germain-des-Prés and the Latin Quarter, the Luxembourg Garden is inspired by the Florentine garden Boboli. With a surface area of 25 hectares, the garden is divided into a French and an English part. Between the two there is a forest and a large pond. There is also an orchard, an apiary to learn about beekeeping, greenhouses with a breathtaking collection of orchids and a rose garden. Enter and discover the many statues scattered throughout the park, the monumental Medici fountain, the Orangery and the Davioud Pavilion. There are many activities and facilities for children: puppets, merry-go-rounds, slides... Adults, Parisians or tourists, play chess, tennis, bridge or a remote-controlled boat. The cultural programme is marked by free photographic exhibitions on the garden gates and concerts in the bandstand.
