Plan your session
The Luxembourg Gardens change with every season: tulips in spring, deep green in summer, golden alleys in autumn. The palace, the Medici Fountain and the green metal chairs make it instantly recognizable.
It is a natural choice for family and newborn sessions: space to run, shade for little ones, and a gentle pace. Opening hours change with the seasons, so check them when you plan.
