Practical tips for your visit
The garden opens as early as 7:15 am depending on the season. Enter through the main gate on Rue de Vaugirard for the most dramatic view of the palace.

Public toilets are located near the palace and the Medici Fountain. The Musée du Luxembourg hosts excellent temporary art exhibitions.
History of the Luxembourg Gardens
The Jardin du Luxembourg was created in 1612 by Marie de’ Medici, the widow of King Henry IV, who wanted to recreate the gardens of her native Florence. The 25-hectare garden features the Medici Fountain, a beautiful grotto built in 1630, and is surrounded by the Luxembourg Palace which now houses the French Senate. It is one of the most beloved green spaces in Paris.
What to see and do
The central Grand Bassin is famous for children sailing model boats, a tradition that has continued for over a century. The orchard contains over 180 varieties of antique apples. The octagonal pond, the Musée du Luxembourg, and over 100 statues scattered throughout the grounds make every visit a discovery. Our silent walk captures the early-morning atmosphere before the crowds arrive.
