Take a seat:
Sponsor a bench
In the Tuileries Garden

Aside from the museum, the Louvre Estate also includes the largest public park in central Paris – the Tuileries Garden. Here, the Louvre has undertaken a long-term, large-scale restoration project that is to be completed with the installation of 165 benches, bringing welcome respite to strolling visitors.

Tuileries benches –
a concerted effort to preserve our heritage

Every year, millions of visitors use the benches in the oldest public garden in Paris. These now need to be restored.

Every bench tells a story –
make this one yours

The Tuileries Garden benches await you. You can sponsor a bench in your own or your family’s name, or dedicate it as a gift or as a tribute to someone. Write your own story! A plaque will be attached to the backrest of the bench you sponsor for a period of ten years. You can also opt to collectively participate in the restoration of ‘donor benches’ by making a voluntary donation.

Spend a decade at the Tuileries!
