Tuileries gardens

Right next to the Louvre is a parc area, the Tuileries gardens. Actually it wasn't as nice as expected, a bit too formal and too crowded.
Starting with the rather small Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel there are a couple of basins, a couple of fountains, a couple of statues and a couple of trees and bushes..hope my description isn't too disrespectful :-)


The most impressive view is away from the Louvre, where the Place de la Concorde with its Obelisk, the Champs Elysee, the Arc de Triomphe and the Grande Arch are in line...
