"In the Tuileries Garden I found La Magie de Noël stretching from the Louvre to Place de la Concorde with hundreds of wooden cabins selling small gifts and seasonal treats, stands run by French artisans such as glass blowers and woodworkers, plus attractions including a small ice rink, carnival rides and a Ferris wheel that is especially striking during the Eiffel Tower’s hourly light show." - Lane Nieset
"The Jardin des Tuileries is recommended as the perfect spot for a date night. It is a place where Carla Bruni-Sarkozy went for a walk with her husband at the beginning of their relationship." - Edward Barsamian
"This sprawling, spectacular park is the beating heart of Paris' public spaces. Standing proudly between the Louvre and Place de la Concorde, and along much of the Seine's Right Bank in the 1st Arrondissement, Tuileries Garden ("Jardin des Tuileries") has a history as long and distinguished as it is impressive, from its inception as an aristocratic playground in the 16th century, to becoming a public space in the 17th century, to serving as the site of numerous French Revolution skirmishes in the 18th century. With more than 55 acres, the park offers plenty of room to stroll and lots of photo ops. Keep an eye out for Auguste Rodin's iconic "Le Baiser" ("The Kiss") on the West Terrace. If you have anywhere to go in this part of Paris, skip the taxi or the metro and walk there on foot through the Tuileries. You'll see something different every time." - Melissa Liebling-Goldberg, Julia Eskins
