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.
