Why start at Tuileries?
Tuileries is the calmest Line 1 stop for entering the royal axis between the Louvre and Place de la Concorde. Instead of diving straight into a museum queue, you arrive beside formal gardens, arcades and open perspectives that make central Paris easy to read on foot.
Jardin des Tuileries
The formal garden offers fountains, statues, shaded chairs and one of the best orientation walks in Paris.
Musée de l’Orangerie
At the western end of the garden, Monet’s Water Lilies make a memorable, compact museum visit.
Jeu de Paume
A photography and contemporary image venue on the garden’s Concorde side.
Rue de Rivoli arcades
Covered walkways line the north edge, useful for rain, shopping and a classic Paris stroll.
Practical tip: Exit on the Jardin des Tuileries side of Rue de Rivoli for the fastest route into the gardens.
Use the 7-day Paris Pass to connect Tuileries with the Louvre, Concorde and riverside walks.
