The Tuileries Garden, which fronted the Tuileries Palace (looted and burned in 1871 during the Commune), has not altered much since André Le Nôtre laid it out in 1664. Le Nôtre, who was born and who died right in the garden, in the gardeners cottage, carried the line of his central allée beyond the garden and out into the country by tracing a path straight along the wooded hill west of the palace. On this hilltop, 170 years later, the Arch of Triumph was erected.At the western edge of the garden, Napoleon III erected a hothouse, the Orangerie, and a court for real (or royal or court) tennis, the Jeu de Paume. The former is used for temporary art shows, the latter houses the Louvre collection of paintings by the Impressionists and their forerunners. Among the artists represented are: Cézanne, Degas, Gauguin, Manet, Monet, Renoir, Rousseau (le douanier), Toulouse-Lautrec, van Gogh. From the terraces on which these museums stand there are splendid views of the olympian traffic jams of the Place de la Concorde.
