Hotel Place de la Concorde Paris
The Tuileries Gardens and Place de la Concorde
Just a stone's throw from your hotel, the Jardin des Tuileries and Place de la Concorde offer an unforgettable stroll through history, art and nature. A haven of peace in the heart of the capital, the Jardin des Tuileries is the oldest French garden in Paris, designed by André Le Nôtre for Catherine de Médicis in the 17th century.
As you stroll through the avenues lined with statues and ponds, you'll discover a green setting where works of art and flowerbeds mingle. Sit back on a chair beside a pond and admire the view of the Louvre on one side and Place de la Concorde on the other. The garden is also home to two not-to-be-missed museums: the Musée de l'Orangerie, famous for Monet's Water Lilies, and the Jeu de Paume, dedicated to contemporary photography.
A majestic stroll through the heart of Paris
Continuing your stroll, you will reach the Place de la Concorde, the largest and one of the most majestic squares in Paris. Witness to the history of France, its cobblestones witnessed the great hours of the Revolution, including the execution of Louis XVI and Marie-Antoinette. Today, it is dominated by the Luxor obelisk, an impressive monument over 3,000 years old that Egypt gave to France.
Surrounded by monumental fountains and offering a breathtaking view of the Champs-Élysées, the Seine and the National Assembly, the Place de la Concorde is a must for admiring Paris in all its splendour. A mix of nature, art and heritage, this walk is an invitation to discover and marvel.
