What people say

Matthew Daws
"Although not technically in the Latin Quarter, the Jardin du Luxembourg parc is worthy of a slight detour to visit. Not only is it a lovely parc, where you can spend some time reading or people watching, but it has some noteworthy landmarks you can check out. The largest would be the the Palais du Luxembourg, where the French senate resides today. This building dates back to the 17th century and was built under the request of Marie de Médicis (wife of Henri IV and mother of Louis XIII), as a place to live outside of the Louvre palace. She would be exiled by her own son shortly after it was completed. The gardens also house a number of statues, most notably a collection dating back to 1843 representing the Queens of France and Famous Women. "

"Experience the breathtaking beauty of Jardin du Luxembourg in the fall, as the leaves turn vibrant shades of orange and red. Take a stroll through the stunning gardens, admiring the colorful foliage and the charming statues and fountains throughout the park. Relax on one of the many benches or chairs scattered around the park, or (if the weather permits) bring a picnic to enjoy on the lawns. Don't miss the opportunity to visit the famous Medici Fountain, a stunning Renaissance-era fountain located in the heart of the park. And be sure to check out the vintage carousel, which is a favourite spot for families and children."
"One of the most pretty garden of Paris, and a very nice example of the "French Garden", with an amazing view from the Senate Palace to the Observatory. Don't miss the Medicis Fountain and look for the small Statue of Liberty 👀 It has been created in 1612 by the queen Mary of Medicis, with the palace built in the center of it. It has inspired a lot of writers, including Victor Hugo, Charles Baudelaire and Ernest Hemingway, that all lived around it and dreamed around its fountains... For example, this is the place where Marius fell in love with Cosette, in Hugo's Miserables. "
