Tuileries
Louvre's neighboring park
The Tuileries is a formal garden in Paris stretching from the Louvre to the Place de la Concorde.
The name comes from tile factories that once occupied the site.
The Tuileries Palace, a royal residence that stood adjacent to the garden, was destroyed by fire in 1871 during the Paris Commune.
Today the Tuileries refers almost exclusively to the gardens.
