Luxembourg Garden
(Jardin du Luxembourg)
For first-time visitors it is good to know that throughout this 55-acre park walking on the grass is forbidden, as is cycling and ball games. In fact, there are rules governing most of what goes on here. Don’t let that put you off; this is a wonderful place for child and adult alike. There are pony rides, swings, tennis, and a model yacht rent to sail in the large artificial pond. Take a stroll to enjoy its many fountains and statues. Its brilliant flowers beds are completely changed three times a year.
