The Journées du Patrimoine in Paris are an opportunity to discover the capital's most emblematic treasures in a different light. Between two museums or historic monuments, why not take a stroll through one of the city's flagship gardens, the famous Jardin des Tuileries?
Listed as a historic monument and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Jardin des Tuileries is the oldest French garden in Paris. In fact, it was here that the now-defunct Palais des Tuileries stood. Today, this garden is one of Paris's many treasures, much appreciated by tourists and local residents alike, and is alive with festivities and events all year round.
