Luxembourg Palace & Garden (Jardin du Luxembourg) - Paris, France
The Jardin du Luxembourg is the name given to the spacious garden area, which also includes Luxembourg Palace; in addition, continuing south, is a separate area known as Esplanade Gaston Monnerville. While the palace is no longer open to the public (it now houses the French Senate - Sénat - Palais du Luxembourg), there is no admission to see the garden.
As is to be expected, on a beautiful sunny day, the area is full of people enjoying the weather, some simply sitting and relaxing, while also people watching. The Medici Fountain is one of the highlights and very relaxing as well. The sheer size of the entire garden area captivates you immediately. It was our last day in Paris and a perfect way to end our week-long vacation.

Ed and I both took turns with the camcorder video filming, while it is his voice that is heard on all of the narrations.

LUXEMBOURG GARDENS - BEST PARK IN PARIS? | Eileen Aldis
On a perfect sunny day in Paris we decided to visit the Luxembourg Gardens (Jardin du Luxembourg) to enjoy one of the city's best public spaces. We weren't sure what to expect but had simply heard it was amazing. It turned out to be one of our new favourite parks. It's just absolutely charming and is an especially wondrous place for children. If we had kids this would be the number one place I'd want to take them. There's a playground, ponies to ride around, lots of space to run around and play, and a pond where you can rent a little sailboat. They have got to be the world's cutest sailboats and you can push them around the circular pond right in front of Luxembourg Palace with a long stick. The palace was created in 1612 by Marie de Medici, the widow of King Henry IV. It has this great balance of feeling very grand and also casual and community-like at the same time. It's paradise for children but adults love it here too: lots of chairs to sit in to relax or read, tennis and basketball courts, and spots to play chess. Jogging also seemed to be popular in the park. Overall, we just loved the vibe here and would like to go back and spend a lot more time. There's nothing like discovering a new place and falling in love with it!

The Palais du Luxembourg, Marie de Médicis residence, the house of the French Senate.
Established over 30 years ago by the French Ministry of Culture, the annual Journées du Patrimoine, or Heritage Days, opens up thousands of historic monuments to the public for the weekend, including museums, churches, gardens, embassies, schools, libraries, the Senate and National Assembly buildings. Most of these places are either normally closed to the public, so it was last September that I had the privilege to enjoy special access to this beautiful palace and appreciate its amazing architectural and cultural heritage.
The Palais du Luxembourg, located within the Luxembourg Gardens in Paris, was constructed at the start of the 1600s for Marie de Médicis. Marie de Médicis who was the wife of King Henri IV was not happy with the medieval Palais du Louvre and after her husband was assassinated and she became regent for her son, the future King Louis XIII, she decided to have her own palace constructed in Paris. She wanted the residence to remind her of the Palazzo Pitti and the Boboli Gardens in Florence, which is where she had been brought up. It was the influence of Marie de Medicis that made this palace sumptuous and majestic. Up until the French Revolution it was a royal residence. Declared a National Palace in 1791, the Luxembourg Palace became home to the Directoire, the House of Peers (1814-1848), and the Senate of the Third Republic (from 1879). The highly decorated Salle des Conférences was inspired by the Galerie d’Apollon of the Louvre. Enjoy and have a beautiful day.

A Visit to the Luxembourg Gardens in Paris
This ten-minute video shows you around the Luxembourg Gardens in Paris, France, which is arguably the city's most beautiful park. The gardens, located in the Latin Quarter of the city, belong to the French Senate, which meets in the Luxembourg Palace at the north end of the gardens. This video doesn't really do the park justice; it's much prettier in real life.
I'm not at all pleased with this video, which is rather incoherently edited, but it will have to do until I can produce a better one.
This video has been edited slightly for YouTube. An American high-school band is seen playing briefly in the video, and I've removed the audio from that sequence. There is currently a serious problem with copyright trolls on YouTube, who fraudulently claim copyright on just about any music used by anyone, even if there is no infringement. Rather than deal with the trolls, I just removed the music the band is playing (a Henry Mancini medley and some other stuff). The director's cut that I've archived has the music, though (not available online).
The band seen in the video is the Stevens High School band, from Rapid City, South Dakota. Apparently they were giving a concert in the gardens on the day I was shooting, which is a well-established tradition for many visiting high-school bands from the U.S.

Luxembourg palace Paris France
Tour of Paris: Palais du Luxembourg
In this episode I run around the Palais du Luxembourg. Nowadays the Palais du Luxembourg houses the French senate. But it was originally designed as a royal residence for the Queen of France, Marie de' Medici.
Jardin du Luxembourg à Paris
Le jardin du Luxembourg est l'une des plus belles promenades de Paris. Dans l'origine, son étendue était de quatre cent quarante toises ; mais en 1782 on en supprima toute la partie occidentale, où l'on devait, disait-on, établir une foire. Six ans après, on y bâtit deux maisons situées dans la nouvelle rue Madame. Les jardins s'étendirent en conséquence plus d'un côté que de l'autre, et le palais ne se trouva point placé au centre de ces plantations ...
Le Palais du Luxembourg vu du ciel
Luxembourg Palace & Garden, Paris, France
The Luxembourg Palace is located at 15 rue de Vaugirard in the 6th arrondissement of Paris. It was originally built between 1615 and 1645 to be the royal residence of the regent Marie de Médicis, mother of Louis XIII of France. After the Revolution it was refashioned into a legislative building between 1835-1836 it was enlarged and remodeled. Since 1958 it has been the seat of the French Senate of the Fifth Republic. On the south side of the palace, the formal Luxembourg Garden presents a 25-hectare green parterre of gravel and lawn populated with statues and large basins of water where children sail model boats, some of which can be seen in the video below. Source:
Like many of the other magnificent buildings and palaces around Paris, and indeed elsewhere in France, one can only marvel at the amount of planning, money, labor, and resources that must have gone into erecting this massive palace, and into landscaping and maintaining the stunning gardens on which the palace and other buildings stand.
Today, the palace building is the home of the French senate. During my brief three of four hour visit to the palace grounds, I did not enter the main building itself. In fact, I'm not even sure if the building is open to the general public. However, the beautifully maintained gardens are open, and during my outing they were well patronized by locals and international visitors alike. There is much to see around the grounds including a series of statues of former French queens, saints and reproductions of classical Antiques.
You can wander through an orchard of apple and pear trees, enjoy a performance of the théâtre des marionnettes (puppet theatre), ride on a vintage carousel, enjoy one of the many free musical performances scheduled throughout the summer months, and visit the Orangerie with its displays of art, photography, and numerous sculptures. The grounds of the garden also contain more than one hundred statues, monuments, and fountains scattered throughout the 25-hectares (61 acres), including Frédéric Bartholdi’s first 1870 model for the Statue of Liberty.

Le Jardin du Luxembourg - Paris
Le Jardin du Luxembourg 2018 / The Luxembourg Garden, Paris July 2018.
The Luxembourg Gardens ( Le Jardin du Luxembourg) are located in the heart of Paris’ Left Bank, acting a little bit as “Paris’s lungs”. Dating back from the XVIIth century, Luxembourg gardens originally were the gardens of the Luxembourg Palace. The latter is today the home of the Senate, but the garden is open to the public. If you’re coming to Paris and have the intention to visit the Left Bank of Paris, the Luxembourg gardens are most definitely a must!

Luxembourg City, Luxembourg - Grand Ducal Palace & Changing of the Guard (2018)
The Grand Ducal Palace (Luxembourgish: Groussherzogleche Palais, French: Palais grand-ducal, German: Großherzogliches Palais) is a palace in Luxembourg City, in southern Luxembourg. It is the official residence of the Grand Duke of Luxembourg, and where he performs most of his duties as head of state of the Grand Duchy.
Luxembourg (Luxembourgish: Lëtzebuerg, French: Luxembourg, German: Luxemburg), also known as Luxembourg City (Luxembourgish: Stad Lëtzebuerg or d'Stad, French: Ville de Luxembourg, German: Stadt Luxemburg, Luxemburg-Stadt)[pron 2], is the capital city of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg (also named Luxembourg), and the country's most populous commune. Standing at the confluence of the Alzette and Pétrusse rivers in southern Luxembourg, the city lies at the heart of Western Europe, situated 213 km (132 mi) by road from Brussels, 372 km (231 mi) from Paris, and 209 km (130 mi) from Cologne. The city contains Luxembourg Castle, established by the Franks in the Early Middle Ages, around which a settlement developed.
As of January 2018, Luxembourg City had a population of 116,323, which is more than three times the population of the country's second most populous commune (Esch-sur-Alzette).
In 2011, Luxembourg was ranked as having the second highest per capita GDP in the world at $80,119 (PPP), with the city having developed into a banking and administrative centre. In the 2011 Mercer worldwide survey of 221 cities, Luxembourg was placed first for personal safety while it was ranked 19th for quality of living.
Luxembourg is one of the de facto capitals of the European Union (alongside Brussels and Strasbourg), as it is the seat of several institutions, agencies and bodies of the European Union, including the European Court of Justice, the European Court of Auditors, the Secretariat of the European Parliament, the European Investment Bank, the European Investment Fund, and the European Stability Mechanism.
