The Jardin des Tuileries is a beautiful example of a symmetric, impressive French garden located in front of the former royal palace, the Louvre.  With stretches of green grass and ordered trees, the Jardin des Tuileries also contains large fountains with resident ducks and surrounding seats during good weather.  It is also right next to the Place de la Concorde, the historic site of the guillotine during the Revolution, and the Champs Elysées, making it a perfect location to begin a walk.
