Le jardin des Tuileries face aux enjeux patrimoniaux et écologiques : les chantiers actuels (2012-2023) by Maxime MAURICE – Château de Bénouville
The Tuileries Garden in the face of heritage and ecological challenges: current developments (2012-2023)
Thirty years after its last transformation by Pascal Cribier and Louis Benech, the Louvre Museum undertook an ambitious project to develop and promote the Tuileries Garden. No less than three copses and the central alley were redeveloped. Hundreds of trees were planted and new flower beds created, with the participation of artistic gardeners from the very design phase. The aim was to reduce mineral features in favour of plant life. It represented a huge opportunity for the Tuileries Garden to approach the 21st century in an active response to today’s heritage and ecological challenges.
