Overview

Hype:

The Luxembourg Garden, located in the 6th arrondissement of Paris, was created beginning in 1612 by Marie de' Medici, the widow of King Henry IV of France, for a new residence she constructed, the Luxembourg Palace. The garden today is owned by the French Senate, which meets in the Palace. It covers 23 hectares and is known for its lawns, tree-lined promenades, flowerbeds, model sailboats on its circular basin, and picturesque Medici Fountain, built in 1620.

Story

We visited the Luxembourg Garden as one of the stops on our hop-on hop-off bus tour. Dad's knees were killing him, so he found a chair to rest in while we explored.
