A little history of the Tuileries

The Jardin des Tuileries was created in 1564 for Queen Catherine de’ Medici, beside the palace she was building. Its name comes from the tile works, the tuileries, that stood on the site before.

A century later, in 1664, André Le Nôtre, the gardener of Versailles, redrew it as a French formal garden, with its long central walk, its basins and its rows of trees. The palace burned in 1871; the garden remains, between the Louvre and the Place de la Concorde.

A Jardin des Tuileries elopement, between the trees and the Louvre

Picture the long lines of trees, a sculpture or a basin beside you, and the Louvre glowing at the end of the walk. In spring the garden is all fresh green, in autumn it turns to gold: the Tuileries change with the seasons and never lose their elegance.

We plan your ceremony in the garden’s quiet corners in the early morning, and your portraits along its alleys and terraces, with the Louvre a short walk away.
