The Jardin des Tuileries is named after the tile factory that existed on the site where Queen Catherine de 'Medici had the Palais des Tuileries built in 1564, which has now disappeared. The famous king's gardener, André Le Nôtre, gave it its current French-style garden appearance from the year 1664. The garden, which separates the Musée du Louvre from the Place de la Concorde, is a place of stroll for Parisians and tourists, and you can statues of Maillol, others of Rodin or Giacometti. The two ponds encourage rest. The Musée de l’Orangerie in which visitors can admire Monet's works is installed in the southwestern part of the Tuileries.
