9Luxembourg Gardens, Paris, France
Built around the Luxembourg Palace in the early 1600s, the Luxembourg Gardens are located across the Seine and about a 15-minute walk from the Louvre.
They were designed for the Queen of France, who was born at the Pitti Palace as Maria de’ Medici, and you can bet that the beautiful Boboli Gardens in her childhood backyard influenced the design of this green space. Today the majestic Luxembourg Palace is home to the French Senate, and the grounds originally built for the queen include a collection of 20 marble statues that honor several of France’s queens.
