Jardin Du Luxembourg Garden

Located on the border of the Luxembourg palace, between Saint Germain-des-Pres and the Latin Quarter, Jardin du Luxembourg Garden is inspired by the baroque style of Boboli gardens in Florence. Upon the initiative taken by the Queen Marie de Medici in 1612, Jacques Boyceau designed the garden which was laid down over an area of 25 hectares of land and split into two parts which were designed into French and English style.
