Marco Polo Gardens

The Marco Polo Gardens, also known as the Observatory Gardens, are located in the southern part of the Avenue of the same name. It is one of the picturesque parks of Paris, created in 1867 between the Luxembourg Garden and the Paris Observatory. The park in the classical French style, named after the great navigator Marco Polo, attracts numerous tourists with its smooth lawns and slender chestnut alleys.

The territory of the Marco Polo Garden and the Robert Cavelier Garden, located in the immediate vicinity of it, was formerly occupied by the buildings of the ancient castle of Wover, covered with many legends and secrets. One of the main attractions of the Marco Polo Gardens is the famous fountain, symbolizing the four cardinals and built in 1867-1874 by a group of famous French artists.
