The Jardin du Luxembourgh is a park in Paris. The park is 55 acres and was originally owned by the Duke of Luxembourgh. At the northern end of the park is the Luxembourgh palace, which served as a prison during the French Revolution in the 1700s. Marie de'Medici had the park constructed after the death of her husband, King Henry IV of France, was murdered in 1610. She decided to move away from the Louvre palace and into the Luxembourgh palace.
Today the gardens are a tourist attraction that compels many people from all over to come and explore. The park houses ponds, statues, lawns, paths, and beautiful flowers. It is also a great place to relax in.
