Sunset @ Jardin du Luxembourg
The most beautiful parisian garden!
Take a peaceful walk to blow away from the hustle and bustle!
Admire the magnificent Medici fountain, the time-frozen statues, the beautiful flowers;
take some time to read a book in the sun, watch runners or kids in the playground, snack some wine with friends or simply lay on the grass and watch time pass by…
Charming, lovely, restful..not talking about the museum who always holds the best art exhibitions!

Situated on the border between Saint-Germain-des-Prés and the Latin Quarter, the Luxembourg Gardens, inspired by the Boboli Gardens in Florence, were created upon the initiative of Queen Marie de Medici in 1612. The gardens, which cover 25 hectares of land, are split into French gardens and English gardens.
The Museum hosts every year prestigious exhibitions: Botticelli, Raphaël, Gauguin, Matisse, Modigliani, Cranach, Cézanne or Chagall.
In order to achieve a far-reaching reputation and ensure excellence in the production and organisation of exhibitions at the Musée du Luxembourg, the Senate decided to call on professionals in this sector. The Musée du Luxembourg has since become established as one of the leading exhibition spaces in Paris, enabling its numerous visitors to enjoy the masterpieces of Botticelli, Raphaël, Titian, Arcimboldo, Veronese, Gauguin, Matisse, Vlaminck and Modigliani.
In 2010, the Senate delegated the running of the museum to the Public Establishment of the Réunion des Musées Nationaux and of the Grand Palais des Champs-Elysées (RMN-GP), favouring three programmes with themes linked to its history: “The Renaissance in Europe”, “Art and Power” and “Palace, Gardens and Museum: the Luxembourg in the heart of Paris, capital of the arts”.
