Paris: The Elegant Gardens

Some of the most beautiful gardens in Europe are in Paris. The city of Light has an elegant street planning so the spacious parks are just an accessory to the overall exquisite setting. Enjoy a tour around some of the most grandiose Paris gardens. 
Jardin de Luxembourg - is a little landmark of natural woods. The entrance is through le Petit Luxembourg Museum - the Little Museum of Luxembourg, a common place for art exhibitions. Along the little pond you will easily get near the Luxembourg castle - Palais du Luxembourg. This magnificent building is a former royal residence and is now the headquarters of the French Senate.  The building quite resembles Hotel Paris la Defense
When you get to the far end of the park you will be able to notice the dome of Sacre Coeur Cathedral on the top of Montmartre.
Jardin des Tuileries - are few steps away from the Louvre complex. They start with an arch not that impressive as the Triumphal arch. A pond in the centre of it is often decorated by artists. The garden itself is like an open art gallery with all the statues placed around.
Le jardin du Patio Andalou is one the splendid gardens of Hotel Paris Arc de Triomphe. It is not Bois de Bologne, but this little garden is a real diamond among the busy with traffic streets.
