The Jardin des Tuileries was created in 1564 by Catherine de’ Medici as part of the Tuileries Palace. Redesigned by landscape architect André Le Nôtre in 1664, it became the first French formal garden and a model for Versailles.

After the Tuileries Palace was burned in 1871 during the Paris Commune, the garden remained as a cherished cultural and recreational space, hosting sculptures, exhibitions, and gatherings.
