This small garden occupies a site with a violent royal history. It sits upon the grounds of the former Hôtel des Tournelles, a vast estate where King Henri the Second died in 1559 after a fatal injury during a tournament. Following his death, his widow, Catherine de Médicis, ordered the entire palace complex to be demolished.
