While in Paris – Jardin des Tuileries
Coming back after my midterms, the only thing I’m dreaming of is taking another vacation to Paris. It’s not possible unfortunately, so I’ve spent a lot of time going through my pictures. This time, I’m bringing you outside the Louvre, in the Jardin des Tuileries.
The sun was blinding when we got out of the Louvre, and after a day walking around its beautiful rooms, we were dreaming of something refreshing to drink. We then decided to walked through the Jardin des Tuileries, the beautiful park that once was the Palais du Louvre’s gardens.
The Sun was high and blinding, making the garden colors so vivid, I couldn’t resist taking pictures all around! I don’t feel it translates how beautiful, refreshing and energizing the place was, but it might give you a taste of it!
There are two large basins with a small fountain in its center at both extremity of the Jardin. Green metal chairs are placed all around and people have the chance to sit and relax, take a nap, read a book. I of course went back later in the week with a book while the Man of the House was gone shoe-shopping. You read that right : he’s the one shopping for shoes, not me! :p
Same place, although on our last day. We went back again – you guessed right, we just loved that place! It has such a wonderful combination of everything Paris has to offer : impressive garden, beautiful architecture, stunning art pieces, great atmosphere and, of course, a couple of sandwich stands.
The Jardin des Tuileries also has a couple of small restaurants with outside tables. While those are a bit pricey, it was really sweet to just sit there admiring the nature and the sculptures while drinking a cool beer or cola!

Beautiful photos. Makes me want to go there as well.
This is sadly one place I didn’t get to go in Paris because the Louvre was closed due to strike that day. Sigh. The pictures are lovely.
Wonderful pictures, Kay! You’ve really captured la vie belle parisienne, I’d say! Your pictures have me positively aching to go back to Paris and spend some time strolling about and eating great food!
I can not get enough of this series. I love the last two too 🙂
Oh, how I love Paris!!
Oh, just stunning! I absolutely adore your photo and trip posts. That last picture stopped me dead in my tracks. You’re so talented, Kay, and how awesome to be able to spend time there! Thanks for sharing with us, and hope your midterms went well!
I have never been to Paris, so I am currently feeling an utter sensation of jealousy as I look at your pictures!! 🙂
Such beautiful photos! My pictures from Spain aren’t turning out nearly as lovely, so I’m a little jealous! I’d love to visit Paris one day. I had intended to visit on this trip, but ended up staying in Spain.
i love your pictures and amazing photography skills! thanks for sharing them with us.
i admit i had to read that line about the man of the house going shoe shopping twice just to make sure i read it correctly!
