Book a 2-hour private tour of the Luxembourg Gardens and discover how this peaceful green space became a vital part of Parisian life. Created at the request of Queen Marie de Medici after King Henri IV’s assassination, the gardens surround the grand Luxembourg Palace, now home to the French Senate. Your journey begins at the entrance near the Musée du Luxembourg, the city’s oldest contemporary art museum. As you wander through this 60-acre park, inspired by the Boboli Gardens in Florence, you’ll encounter remarkable statues like the Chopin Statue, a replica of the Statue of Liberty, and the dynamic bronze figure of ‘David, winner of Goliath.’ Pass the elegant Pavillon Davioud and admire the mixture of French and English garden designs, peaceful ponds, and playful fountains, including the ornate Marie de Medici Fountain with its Italian influences. Your guide will end the tour at the Place du Panthéon, where you can admire impressive landmarks such as the Panthéon, Pantheon-Sorbonne University, Bibliothèque Sainte-Geneviève, and the striking Saint-Étienne-du-Mont church.
Choose the 3-hour option to enhance your experience with timed tickets to the Panthéon, a neoclassical masterpiece originally commissioned by King Louis XV. Inside this 18th-century mausoleum, you’ll explore a grand crypt that holds the remains of France’s most celebrated figures, including Victor Hugo, Voltaire, and Marie Curie. Your licensed guide will share captivating stories about their lives and contributions, offering a deeper understanding of French cultural, scientific, and political history.
