The Luxembourg Gardens in Paris are a delightful place for miniature boating! On the central pond, known as the “Grand Bassin,” you can rent small wooden sailboats and steer them with a wooden pole. This activity, called “Les Voiliers du Luxembourg,” is a historic tradition that has entertained children and adults for generations. ⛵

It was Maria de Medici who decided in 1612, after the assassination of her husband Henri IV, to convert this existing Hôtel into a palace, surrounded by a beautiful garden. As an Italian by birth, she longed to return to her Tuscan birthplace, but for political reasons this was not possible. So, on this spot, a wealth of luxury and tranquility was created and exchanged for her current home, the Louvre. It is said that this place reminded her too much of her husband with his numerous mistresses. After being purchased from the Duke of Luxembourg, the Hôtel and the enormous amount of land was renamed Palais de Medici, but after a serious quarrel with her son, Louis XIII, Maria was banished to Cologne where she died a lonely woman in 1642. She was soon forgotten and the Palais then gave its current name, Palais Luxembourg. All in all, the Parisians have her to thank for the creation of these beautiful gardens.

The Jardin du Luxembourg was formerly a royal palace, now a state-owned park in Paris's Latin Quarter, covering 26 hectares. It's a beautiful place to linger and relax. The park belongs to the Palais du Luxembourg, where the Senate, the upper house of the French Parliament, meets. A visit is highly recommended 👍👍👍.
