Tranquil Retreat of Jardin du Palais Royal
Located in the heart of Paris, the Jardin du Palais Royal is an urban park born from the historical Palais-Royal, established in the 17th century. This garden, a legacy of the French Revolution, offers a unique combination of nature and culture.
Founded in 1633 by Cardinal Richelieu, the garden has evolved significantly over time. The architectural elegance is highlighted by its neoclassical layout, framed by three arcades: Galerie de Valois, Galerie de Montpensier, and Galerie Beaujolais.
