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.

The Palais du Luxembourg is a palace in the 6th arrondissement of Paris. To the south lies the city park Jardin du Luxembourg. The palace is the seat of the French Senate.

The Louvre Pyramid is an iconic structure located in the central courtyard of the Louvre Museum in Paris, known as Cour Napoléon. Designed by Chinese-American architect Ieoh Ming Pei, it was opened in 1989. This glass and metal pyramid stands 21.6 metres tall and is made up of 603 glass panels. Its modern design contrasts with the museum's classical architecture, creating a bright and airy access point for visitors. Despite initial controversy, the pyramid has become a symbol of Paris and one of the city's most photographed attractions.

The Luxembourg Gardens are one of the most beautiful and emblematic parks in Paris. Located in the 6th District, these gardens were designed in 1612 by order of Marie de Médicis, and are a perfect place to relax and enjoy nature in the middle of the city.

In front of the palace there is a lake with sailing boats for children.
