Jardin des Tuileries

Like the Luxembourg Gardens, worth a passing through. The Luxembourg Gardens are closer to what you would consider a park or gardens, but the Tuileries are neat in that, if you stand by the fountain, you can see the obelisk at the Place de la Concord and the Arc de Triomphe straight ahead and the Eiffel Tower off to the side. The Tuileries Palace, where the royal family was placed for a brief time after their removal from Versailles during the Revolution, no longer stands here.
