In 1617 Marie de Medicis asked the help of Boyeau de la Barraudiere to create the garden. It was not before 1820 that the garden was opened to the public, under the reign of Louis XVIII.
This garden gives the feeling of greatness and prestige. A bandstand and a roundabout with wooden horses were inherited from the 19th Century. Game areas are located among hundreds of sculptures by Bourdelle and others from the19th Century.
The fountain of Medicis welcomes romantic couples, inebriated from the essences of the flora. Borders and flowerbeds contain wallflowers, dahlias, salvia, as well as orange trees and various exotic trees.
Have a rest in the shadow of a chestnut tree, a plane tree, or a lime tree by sitting on one of the famous green chairs, but mind the “Orangerie du Luxembourg” bee hive! However, if bees inspire you, take theoretical and practical beekeeping lessons.
These are all reasons why this garden is the best choice for a sunny day`s walk.
