Jardin du Palais-Royal

The Jardin du Palais Royal is a charming, historic spot—perfect for taking a break during your Paris explorations. These elegant gardens have witnessed centuries of French history, serving as Cardinal Richelieu's residence, young Louis XIV's childhood home, and later a gathering place for Enlightenment thinkers like Diderot. For art and fashion enthusiasts, the garden's elegant arcades house high-end fashion boutiques—including Rick Owens, Acne Studios, and Maison Margiela—as well as art galleries like Theoreme Editions. You might even catch glimpses of newlyweds or fashion brands shooting their lookbooks in this picturesque setting!
