Tuileries

Gardens in the centre of Paris, on the site of a former residence of the French sovereigns. There are two museums: L'Orangerie and Jeu de Paume. The gardens were planned by the landscape gardener André Le Nôtre.

The palace of the Tuileries was begun 1564 by Philibert de l'Orme, at the order of Catherine de Medici. The site chosen had been a tileworks (French tuilerie). The building was the seat of executive authority during the French Revolution, and the emperor's residence during the empire. It was burned by revolutionaries during the Commune of Paris, and afterwards the remains were demolished.
