Even though they inspired my website name, the Tuileries are one of my least favourite spots in Paris – the gardens are too neat, the crowded paths are strewn with gravel, and almost all the lawns feature a “keep off the grass” sign. If anyone asks to see Tuileries photos, I show them this one instead. The stormy sky over the Louvre’s Arc is infinitely more interesting than the fussily-kept gardens.
