Le jardin des Tuileries is Paris's most central garden. From the 12th century, this area was occupied by roof-tile factories (tuileries meaning tiles) that were surrounded by pumpkin fields and in the 1500s a palace was built on the site and surrounded with extensive Florentine-inspired gardens. Its a truly beautiful park in all seasons - vivid with flowers and new growth in spring; leafy and cool in summer; brilliant with golden and rust colours (and crunching leaves) in autum; stark and elegant with rows of bare trees in the winter, especially stunning with a layer of snow! It offers a haven from the hectic Paris traffic in the surround streets.
