Can the Tuilerie building still be seen in Paris today?

== == Alas, no. The palais des Tuileries was one of the earliest
parts of the Louvre to be built; it was the Royal residence when
the King was brought back to Paris during the Revolution; it was
napoleon's residence during the Empire, and used also by the
restored Bourbons until 1830, the Orleanist monarchy until 1848,
and by Napoleon III until 1870. Alas, in the disturbances of the
Commune after the fall of the Second Empire and the Siege of Paris
in 1870, the Palais des Tuileries was burned down. For more

How many visitors does Jardin des Tuileries have?

The Garden of Tuileries is located in Central Paris. There is no
official count of the number of visitors. The Louvre museum is
located at one end of the garden and had 8,5 milion visitors in
2008, despite being a paying site and having sometimes long queues
at the entrance.
The entrance in the garden is free and its access easy. It is
also a spot favored by many Parisians, for a few minutes or for
half a day. Based on these facts, we can only assume that there are
much more visitors to the gardens, than for the Louvre museum.
Asked in Paris, History of France, Gardening
What was the original function of the Jardin des Tuileries?

The name tells the story. Jardin means garden; des tuileries
means of the tiles. The garden was part of the grounds of a Palace
built on the clay fields where clay tiles had been made in the
early 16th century. The palace was built in 1559 for one of the
Medicis of Italy with gardens in the Tuscan style. The garden was
re-landscaped in 1664 in the formal French style. It is now
surrounded by Paris, partially bordered by the Louvre and the
Seine, and is the central park of Paris.
Asked in Paris
Who built theTuileries Palace in France?

Catherine de Medicis, Regent during the minority of her sons
François II and Charles IX, needed a palace of her own. She chose a
site half a kilometre from the Louvre and outside the walls, where
she pulled down an old tile-factory (Tuilerie) so that her
architect Philibert Delorme could build the long, narrow Palais des
Tuileries.
This later became part of the Louvre, but was burnt down during
the Commune in 1871.
