Jardin du Luxembourg, located in the 6th arrondissement of Paris, France, is a historic and picturesque garden that covers 23 hectares. Commissioned by Marie de' Medici in 1612, it is renowned for its meticulously manicured lawns, colorful flowerbeds, and tree-lined promenades. The garden features a large octagonal pond, known as the Grand Bassin, where children can sail model boats. Visitors can also enjoy the numerous statues, including an iconic statue of Liberty, and the beautiful Medici Fountain. The Luxembourg Palace, which now houses the French Senate, overlooks the garden, adding to its regal atmosphere.
