Tuileries Garden

A formal garden stretching between the Louvre and Place de la Concorde, working very practically as a shaded walking route between two major landmarks rather than a standalone destination; free metal chairs and benches throughout, and the Musée de l'Orangerie sits at one end. A good option for a break between the Louvre and Place de la Concorde without a detour.
