The Jardin du Palais Royal is an ideal place to relax, reflect, and enjoy a picnic surrounded by neatly trimmed hedges. You can also explore the lovely arcades that border the garden: the Galerie de Valois to the east, the Galerie de Montpensier to the west, and the Galerie Beaujolais to the north. Yet, the standout attraction is at the southern end, where you"ll find 260 striking black-and-white striped columns designed by sculptor Daniel Buren, which have become the garden"s hallmark.
