Le jardin des Tuileries at night
In the backgraound Obelisque (Place de Concorde) and L'Arc de Triomphe.

Le jardin des Tuileries (Tuileries Garden) - the largest and oldest public park in Paris.
Tuileries Garden is an integral part of the history of the Louvre palace and museum.
It covers about 63 acres (25 hectares) and still closely follows a design laid out by landscape architect Andre Le Notre in 1664.
His spacious formal garden plan drew out the perspective from the reflecting pools one to the other in an unbroken vista along a central axis from the west façade, which has been extended as the Axe historique (a line of monuments, buildings and thoroughfares that extends from the centre of Paris to the west; also known as the "Voie Triomphale" - triumphal way).
