Luxembourg Garden

From our hotel near the Luxembourg Gardens, a leisurely stroll through the Latin Quarter is all it takes to reach this magical place. Its central location makes it a cherished spot for Parisians and visitors alike.

The Luxembourg Garden, jewel of the Left Bank

Created in the 17th century at the behest of Marie de Medici, the Luxembourg Garden is one of Paris’s most emblematic green spaces. Initially designed in the spirit of Italian gardens before adopting a classic French aesthetic, it is home to nearly one hundred statues and fountains, including the monumental Medici Fountain, which continues to captivate  art and photography enthusiasts to this day. Its chestnut-lined alleys and vast lawns provide an elegant backdrop where visitors can happily wander in tranquillity.

Children are by no means forgotten! They have an atmosphere perfect for amusement, with dedicated playgrounds, puppet shows… and, of course, the famous miniature sailboats, meant to be pushed across the central basin, a timeless Parisian tradition that continues to charm visitors of all ages.

Practical tips for your visit

On the practical side, entry to the garden is free, and the opening hours vary with the season. To extend your visit, the Palais du Luxembourg, which houses the French Senate, can also be visited by reservation. Nearby, the Luxembourg Museum features temporary exhibitions throughout the year, and access is particularly convenient via the RER B (Luxembourg station).
