With its belle époque architecture, centuries of history, and countless museums, it’s no wonder Paris has been the home to generations of artists, writers, and musicians. It’s easy to feel inspired while climbing the Eiffel Tower or wandering the Louvre, but the city’s true soul resides in its quotidian pleasures: a flaky croissant from the corner patisserie, discovering a quiet cobblestone street, drinking an apéritif along the Seine.

This iconic park, often simply referred to as the Luxembourg Gardens, is situated on the border between Saint-Germain-des-Prés and the Latin Quarter. It's known for its beautiful lawns, tree-lined promenades, and the majestic Luxembourg Palace, which today houses the French Senate.
The park covers about 25 hectares (over 60 acres) and features both French and English garden styles, along with fountains, sculptures (including a model of the Statue of Liberty), and the picturesque Medici Fountain. It's a popular spot for both tourists and locals alike, offering numerous activities and amenities such as tennis courts, puppet shows for children, and plenty of chairs to relax and enjoy the scenery.
The Jardin du Luxembourg is a peaceful retreat in the heart of Paris, perfect for a leisurely stroll, a picnic, or just some time out from the bustling city life. It's definitely a must-visit park when you're in or near the Saint-Germain area.

It’s a must-see event! Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez is back this autumn. A unique time of year, the event brings together sailing enthusiasts and visitors to experience a traditional local event. There will be a party atmosphere around the port for the new season of Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez. Over two weeks, this fishing village rediscovers its roots and welcomes the most beautiful sailing boats from around the world. It’s now an iconic event which sprung from a simple meeting and race between two sailors.
About Les Voiles
It all started in September 1981, when a skipper of a 12-metre Ikra, and an owner of a Swann 44, challenged each other to a race from Saint-Tropez to Pampelonne Beach. In the years that followed, other skippers joined the regatta and it became known as Nioulargue. Many years later, it eventually became Les Voiles de Saint Tropez in 1999. Now recognized as a major event in the sailing community, some of the most beautiful boats in the world come to Saint-Tropez for this unique two-week event. With everything taking part, from traditional sailing boats to the most avant-garde models, you’ll see some unforgettable races.
