THE GARDEN
Start with the Tuileries itself.
Entry to the Tuileries is free all year. The formal paths, basins, sculpture and long axis between the Louvre and Concorde make it more than a short park stop if you give it time.
LOUVRE EXTERIOR
Walk the Carrousel and Louvre courtyards.
You do not need a museum ticket to appreciate the Louvre’s exterior setting. Continue east through the Carrousel Garden and use the courtyards and Pyramid area as part of the walk.
SEINE
Use the river as your next free attraction.
The Seine runs along the south side of the Tuileries area. A riverside walk toward Musée d’Orsay, Pont Royal or farther east adds classic Paris views without transport or admission cost.
PALACE & SQUARES
Extend to Palais Royal or Place de la Concorde.
Both are easy walking extensions from the garden. The value comes from linking the spaces together as one route rather than treating each as a separate destination.
