The Jardin des Champs-Élysées sits as a sprawling, green expanse in the heart of the eighth arrondissement. Unlike the rigid, manicured lines of the Tuileries nearby, these gardens embrace a looser, winding aesthetic. In the eighteenth century, the site served as a dense, marshy thicket before Abel-François Poisson de Vandières redesigned it into a public promenade. It holds the Grand Palais and the Petit Palais within its borders, two structures built to host the World Fair of nineteen hundred.
