In 2022, the Luxembourg Garden, managed by the Senate, broke its attendance record, with 6.2 million visitors, compared with just over 5 million in 2021. Internet users voted it the most beautiful garden in Europe.
The Luxembourg Garden comprises 25 hectares of formal and formal English gardens, 3,000 trees of various species, 5,000 m² of flower beds, an orchard containing more than 500 old varieties of pear and apple trees, a collection of exceptional orchids, 102 statues and monuments, including the famous Médicis fountain, and 4,500 "Sénat" seats. Eco-responsible cultivation practices and the introduction of selective waste sorting contribute to respect for the environment.
The Senate is committed to passing on its rich 400-year history of plant and architectural heritage, and offers horticulture courses and an apiary school. As a place of culture, the Luxembourg Garden hosts exhibitions throughout the year in its Orangery, on its Grilles and in the Davioud Pavilion.
