It was Maria de Medici who decided in 1612, after the assassination of her husband Henri IV, to convert this existing Hôtel into a palace, surrounded by a beautiful garden. As an Italian by birth, she longed to return to her Tuscan birthplace, but for political reasons this was not possible. So, on this spot, a wealth of luxury and tranquility was created and exchanged for her current home, the Louvre. It is said that this place reminded her too much of her husband with his numerous mistresses. After being purchased from the Duke of Luxembourg, the Hôtel and the enormous amount of land was renamed Palais de Medici, but after a serious quarrel with her son, Louis XIII, Maria was banished to Cologne where she died a lonely woman in 1642. She was soon forgotten and the Palais then gave its current name, Palais Luxembourg. All in all, the Parisians have her to thank for the creation of these beautiful gardens.
