I was only in Paris for a fleeting visit so I went to hang around the Louvre but was too late to really get any use out of going in, and explored the gardens instead. What a lovely place to spend a couple of hours!

Next to the Louvre, and before you get to the Place de Concorde

The perfect antidote to the endless rooms of the Louvre! Just behind the pyramid you'll find these pretty gardens which make you feel like you've just stepped out of jane austen, and the trees are great for some shade if it's a bit warm. I love to eat my lunch on one of the free chairs by the fountain just before you exit the garden on to the place de la concorde.

This is such a lovely garden, peaceful and elegant. We came here for lunch and it were so enchanted we wandered about for ages. The building that dominates it is the french senate and there are so many statues you feel like you're abck at the louvre!

Since it's so big there are alot of ways to get there, the RER stop Luxembourg is the closest.
