About
Jardin du Palais Royal is a historic public garden in Paris’s 1st arrondissement, overlooking the Louvre. Established in the 17th century and redesigned by André Le Nôtre, it features manicured parterres, fountains, and a celebrated noon cannon that has fired at lunchtime for centuries. The garden’s heart is a ‘village in the city’ atmosphere, with trees, statues, art installations and a tranquil central pool. Surrounded by the Palais‑Royal’s arcades, boutiques, and restaurants, the garden offers a peaceful escape in the heart of Paris and welcomes visitors of all ages.
