Summer Activities at the Tuileries Garden

What to do at the Tuileries Garden this summer?

A historic garden between the Louvre and Concorde

Just a few metro stops from Hôtel Fabric, the Tuileries Garden is a green oasis in the heart of Paris. Designed by André Le Nôtre in the 17th century, this masterpiece of French formal gardening is now a lively place that blends walking, heritage, and culture. It’s a must-see for all visitors staying in the capital, and a perfect spot to relax after a tour of the Louvre Museum!

For the summer season, numerous activities are organized for family outings or simply for a day combining nature and culture!

Visiting the Tuileries Garden: walks and free guided tours

Every Saturday, Sunday, and public holiday at 2:30 pm, the garden offers free guided tours, no reservation required (subject to availability). Over the course of 1 hour and 15 minutes, a passionate guide reveals the history of the site, its major milestones, and fascinating anecdotes. Tours depart from the “grille du bord de l’eau” gate. Comfortable shoes recommended. Tours may be canceled in case of rain.

Creative workshops and cultural activities at the Tuileries
