The Jardin du Luxembourg is a truly stunning and massive garden attached to the beautiful Palais de Luxembourg and is located in the 6th arrondissement of Paris, in a very central position, not far from Notre-Dame and the Latin quarter.
Created in the 17th century, under the supervision of Marie de Medicis, mother to Louis XIII, it covers 23 hectares and, for good reason, it is one of the most popular outdoor spaces to visit in Paris.
Built in a combination of Italian Baroque and English style gardens, it is the perfect place to wander peacefully in the middle of this bustling metropolis.
Just find a vacation rental in Paris and spend some time in this extraordinarily lovely space.

Open to the public between 8am and 5pm in the winter and 7.30am and 8pm in the summer and free of charge to visit, the garden is an easy pit stop to work into any trip in Paris. Garden lovers and garden experts will be interested in the symmetrical laws, plant beds, shaped hedges and trees, statues, sculptures and fountains and more but there is plenty for others to enjoy, as well.
You can simply wander the orchard, picnic on the lawns (well, one area on the southern boundary – don't just plant yourself in the middle of the manicured and precious greenery), play chess, tennis and bridge, take remote control boats out on the pond, drop kids off in the play area or take them to a puppet show at the Théâtre du Luxembourg, and bring them on carrousel rides or to ride ponies.
A perfect little slice of paradise, it is no wonder that it is a long-standing favourite of tourists and locals alike.
