Introduction

The Tuileries Garden, located between the Louvre and Champs-Élysées, has a unique and advantageous position. Its name derives from the tile factory that once stood here. Through the careful redesign and decoration by designer Le Nôtre, the garden became a typical French garden, although it was initially Italian-style. The Tuileries Palace in the garden was once the royal residence. During the French Revolution in 1880, it was destroyed and leveled, leaving its influence and constraints on the appearance of the park. Today, the Tuileries Garden is part of the Louvre, connecting the left and right wings of the museum, and serves as an open courtyard. It runs parallel to Rue de Rivoli and is adjacent to the National Image Museum of France. The museum got its name from the indoor tennis court added to the northwest corner of the Royal Garden, whose function has now changed. The "Orangerie" museum on the other side of the garden echoes it.
