Tuileries Garden map & entrances

ORIENTATION

Think of the garden as an east–west link.

At the eastern end, the Tuileries meets the Carrousel Garden and Louvre complex. At the western end, the garden opens toward Place de la Concorde, with the Musée de l’Orangerie on the Seine-side corner. Rue de Rivoli runs along the north edge and the Seine along the south.

For a simple one-way walk, start at the end opposite your next destination: begin near Concorde if you are heading to the Louvre, or begin by the Louvre if you plan to continue toward Concorde and the Champs-Élysées.

WHERE TO ENTER

Choose the side that matches your day.

The official Louvre information identifies toilet facilities near Place de la Concorde and near the Rue de Rivoli entrance opposite Rue du 29 Juillet, which also makes those points useful orientation markers. The broad central axis connects the principal spaces through the garden.

• Louvre / Carrousel side: best if your day begins or ends at the Louvre.
• Place de la Concorde side: best for the Orangerie, Champs-Élysées or western Paris.
• Rue de Rivoli side: convenient from Tuileries Metro and the streets north of the garden.
• Seine side: useful when combining the garden with a riverside walk or Musée d’Orsay.

MAP STRATEGY

Save the detailed map for the day of your visit.

A map is most useful for choosing your approach and onward route rather than for navigating every path. The formal layout is easy to understand once you are inside, but temporary event areas and exceptional closures can affect normal access.

Check the official Louvre garden page before a fixed-date visit, especially around major public events at Place de la Concorde.
