A garden laid out by Marie de' Medici in 1612 around the palace where the Senate now sits: French formality and English informality, the ivy-clad Medici fountain, an orangery and a bee apiary. Parisians play tennis and chess here, children sail toy boats on the octagonal basin — the ease that taught Europe's parks.
Highlights
- The ivy-clad Medici fountain
- Toy sailboats on the octagonal basin
