Park Life: Paris

The Jardin des Tuileries, one of the big inner-city parks of Paris, is situated right in the city centre, next to the Louvre and the Seine. With its beautiful statues, geometric forms and strict lines, it is a model of classical French garden architecture. For the Parisians who live in the centre, the Tuileries Garden is like an oasis amidst the stony splendour of their city.
