The Vibe:Formal French gardens linking Louvre and Concorde
Laid out for Catherine de' Medici and reshaped by Le Nôtre, this royal garden runs from the Louvre to Concorde. It is the model of the formal French garden.
Gravel crunches along the central axis between clipped hedges and statues. Round ponds catch the light, ringed by the garden's green chairs.
