The 25-hectare Jardin des Tuileries is bordered by the Carrousel du Louvre, the place de la Concorde, the rue de Rivoli and the banks of the Seine. Designed in the 17th century by Andre Le Notre, these formal gardens were once part of the old Palais des Tuileries. The northern side of the garden is dominated by the terrasse des Feuillants, named after a neighboring Benedictine convent. Other attractions include the Musee du Jeu de Paume, formerly a royal tennis court built by Napoleon III which now features exhibitions of contemporary art, and the Musee de lOrangerie, which houses Monets water lily series among other notable works of art.
