Jardins du Carrousel et des Tuileries

The Louvre and Tuileries National Estate includes several gardens, which cover an area of 30 hectares.

In the west, the Tuileries Garden, a major historical landmark, stretches over 22.4 hectares. The 6.2-hectare Carrousel Garden lies between the wings of the Louvre. The Carrousel and Tuileries gardens are separated by the Tuileries terrace, designed, like the Pyramid, by the architect Ieoh Ming Pei. Both of these gardens are open to the public.
In the east, three small gardens surround the building: running along the rue de Rivoli is the Oratory Garden (4,500m2), and, on the Seine bankside, are the Infanta’s Garden (3,900m2) and the Raffet Garden (1,250m2). These small gardens are not open to the public.

The Carrousel and Tuileries gardens are veritable open-air sculpture museums: 20 sculptures by Aristide Maillol are on view in the Carrousel Garden, and, in the Tuileries, visitors may admire over 200 exceptional statues and vases, dating from the 17th to the 21st century. Whatever the season, this vast green space offers young and old alike countless possibilities for walks and relaxation.

  • Overview

This 23-hectare garden in the center of Paris, running alongside the Seine and the Rue de Rivoli, stretching between the Musée du Louvre and the Place de la Concorde, draws some 14 million visitors every year. Since 2005, it has been managed and developed by the Louvre. Registered since 1914 as a protected French National Historical Site, it has also been on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 1991 as part of the “Banks of the Seine” site.
From the Middle Ages, this location was a center for tile makers and potters, hence the name Tuileries ('tuile' means tile in French).
The garden was created in the 16th century by Catherine de Médicis, widow of King Henri II, and was designed to be admired from the Palais des Tuileries that she was also having built.
Initially serving as a royal garden, in the 17th century it became one of the first Parisian gardens open to the public.
Several great landscape gardeners have worked on the garden: among them, André Le Nôtre, who redesigned it from 1664; and, in recent years, Pascal Cribier and Louis Benech, who developed the site in relation to the “Grand Louvre” project in the 1990s.

Innovation and experimentation

From its very creation, the garden’s royal owners encouraged innovation and experimentation. Henri IV had white mulberry trees planted on the Terrasse des Feuillants, essential for cultivating silkworms, an industry he wished to develop. André Le Nôtre, “great inventor” of the garden under Louis XIV, innovated by opening a line of perspective toward the future Avenue des Champs-Elysées. Over the years, the “Italian-style” garden evolved into a “French-style garden”.
It was the site of several other notable innovations, such as Jacques Charles and Noël Robert’s hydrogen-filled balloon in 1783, and the first motor show in 1898. Many artists have depicted the garden: the Impressionist painters, including Monet, captured its light and colors in a radically new way.
The Tuileries Garden’s buzzing life in the mid-19th century was a magnet for the greatest photographers. Today, still, the site continues to inspire and host work by the creative avant-garde.
Its team of gardeners is committed to protecting the environment, by recycling waste, avoiding the use of chemical weedkillers, and using insects for pest control.

A pleasure garden and a promenade

The garden was originally intended for the exclusive use of the royal family and court. Under the reign of Louis XIV, it was opened to les honnêtes gens—“respectable” folk—as a place for strolling: it was the done thing at the time to be seen walking in the garden, as if on parade. During the French Revolution, it became accessible to all. The general public could at last enjoy the new “national” garden. Once the private domain of the royal and imperial princes, including Louis XIII and Napoléon II, it became a great playground for Parisian children from all walks of life.
Strollers in the Tuileries could also enjoy the garden as an “open-air museum.” Statues were installed in the early 18th century, initially for the pleasure of the young Louis XV. Since then, sculptures by leading artists have continued to take their place in the garden, which also hosts an outdoor section of the International Contemporary Art Fair (FIAC) every fall.
The garden is home to a wide and varied array of plants, including more than thirty-five species of tree. In the Grand Couvert copse, they provide cool areas of shade, while flowerbeds in the Grand Carré area are filled with annuals and perennials in subtle compositions that are reworked every year.

An iconic place in French history

The trappings of power have always gone on show in the garden, in the form of lavish festivities and ceremonies. In 1574, a grand reception was held in honor of the Polish envoys; in 1721, the arrival of the Turkish ambassador, Mehemet Effendi, was feted there. During the Revolution, on August 27, 1792, a memorial ceremony for the dead was staged, as was the “Fête du Salpêtre” (Saltpeter Day) on March 10, 1794. In 1810, the wedding procession of Napoléon and Marie-Louise crossed through the magnificently flag-bedecked garden. Throughout the 19th century under every political regime, the garden was the venue of numerous official festivities. During the 1900 World’s Fair, a “Mayors’ Banquet” was held, with some 22,000 mayors as guests. And before the start of World War I, monuments in honor of the Republican statesmen Jules Ferry and Pierre Waldeck-Rousseau had been erected.
The recent reconstruction in the garden of bivouacs from the Great War is part of this commemorative tradition.

Savage Garden rock band. Daniel Jones (r) with Darren Hayes. band/savage/gardenSource:News Limited

BEING a lifelong Michael Jackson fan, Darren Hayes has continued to take inspiration from the King Of Pop, even after his death.

Hayes saw corporate vultures feast on anything Jackson had in his vaults, released on albums featuring music he never wanted released.

“I actually changed my will,” Hayes admits. “As an artist who is alive, who saw how Michael Jackson’s archives were handled after his death, I told all my family and friends ‘If there’s anything I haven’t released and I haven’t given you my stamp of approval please just assume I didn’t want you to see or hear it’. Artists should have the right to decide when something’s finished.”

It’s an issue that surfaced when Hayes and former musical partner Daniel Jones were asked to raid the Savage Garden vaults for a new compilation from their old band.

They settled on She, a rough diamond demo of a ballad written in 1994, while they were still shaping the musical identity that would sell over 20 million copies of their two albums.

‘’She was a big decision,” Hayes says. Adobe premiere pro 2 0 crack. “You have a band who are no longer together, who are ostensibly not in each others’ lives, then you have to make a decision that is going to couple a piece of music along with your existing catalogue.

“And I thought `Well, at least I’m alive to do this’. But there isn’t much in the vaults. It’s that feeling of leaving a perfectly arranged dinner table. Daniel and I feel the same way, the things that people haven’t heard I wouldn’t really want them to hear. Daniel and I both felt very proud of the legacy because we left it in perfect condition. “

The Singles saw both former members of Savage Garden consulted (they lucratively own the rights to their music) about what would and wouldn’t be included.

For Hayes, enough time has passed for all the early Australian videos for I Want You, To the Moon and Back and Truly Madly Deeply to feature on a bonus DVD — they were all remade for the international market once the duo were signed by Sony.

“For a long time I was maybe the person who maybe tried to push some of those dodgy $5 Australian videos with my 27 hairstyles aside,” Hayes says. “I didn’t really help to make them digitally available. Ironically throughout this process I was the person saying `We have to have good quality versions of those early Australian videos on there’.”

The release of The Singles has also seen both men back in promotion mode — albeit separately.

Both are now based in America (Hayes studying acting and comedy in Los Angeles, Jones working in property in Las Vegas) but both, separately, point out that Savage Garden now seems like a lifetime ago.

Those hoping for some drama between the two men will be as disappointed as those hoping they’ll ever reform as Savage Garden.

“The thing with a band is it really is a marriage,” Hayes says. “In our case we had a marriage that ended in divorce. People don’t get married by accident and they don’t get divorced by accident. There are reasons why musical relationships are magical and those same reasons are sometimes why they can’t last.

“I’ve softened a lot to the (re-formation) question nowadays. I take it as a huge compliment when people ask if we’ll get back together. What they are really saying is you changed my life. I have wonderful memories associated with what you did back then. We’ve also been lucky in that people also respect it ended for a reason. You’d no sooner ask a couple who broke up to get back together just because you liked going to the movies with them.

“I get it, there are some really happy memories associated with it. But as human beings and artists there are also some things that obviously didn’t work. I don’t think we would have stayed disbanded for however long it’s been if that was an accident.”

Indeed, Jones left Savage Garden in 2001 as he hated the lifestyle of being in a band and even being on stage. The fact he’s virtually stayed out of the limelight ever since speaks volumes.

“It’s just not for everyone,” Jones says of musical fame. “And you don’t know that until you do it. The one thing I never wanted Darren to think was that it was personal against him. My decision of walking away from the limelight wasn’t directed towards anyone but my own self and my own happiness. Years later, I don’t miss that lifestyle.

“The decision I made back then is still the right decision for myself. It’s who said what sometimes, it can get out of control but the reality is I never loved the lifestyle of the band or the existence of touring. I’ve never said anything other than that.”

Both men still talk fondly of the delicate thing they made together.

“We still have a lot of respect for each other,” Jones says. “We don’t really have a relationship any more because of the distance, he’s moved on and I’ve moved on, but we still have a great respect for one another. I still hear him speaking highly of me and that is reciprocated.”

Jones was the `mystery man’ of Savage Garden; the quiet one in the background behind Hayes, the man who was born to be a pop star and had studied everything from what to wear on stage to how to give a good interview.

When he left Savage Garden, thus ending the band, Hayes admits he initially figured he’d just go solo with Jones still his songwriting partner, now completely in the background not just the blurry figure in videos and photo shoots.

“I just assumed if I was to go solo I’d write the songs with Daniel because of that songwriting chemistry. But it was a very short window. History has shown what path Daniel was trying to choose, he’s chosen a very different path to mine. That was just never going to happen.”

After his exit ended the band, Jones said he felt “guilty” and thought he’d give back to the Australian music industry, showing that a band whose demos were rejected endlessly could go on to have two No. 1 singles in America.

“I came out of the touring world and thought I still love music, I want to pass on to others the experience I had that to some degree I felt guilty that I’d got, because I didn’t really embrace it the way others would,” Jones says. “So I thought what can I do to give back?”

He started a record label, Meridien Musik, signing several local artists who he wrote and produced for.

“The reality was I spent a whole lot of money on different projects that never really went anywhere. I couldn’t keep doing that forever, otherwise I’d end up with no money. It was one of those things, I had every good intention to give back but the reality was it didn’t go so well.”

Married to former Hi-5 star Kathleen De Leon, Jones moved to Los Angeles and for the past five years has been based in Las Vegas, where the couple have two young daughters.

Jones now “flips” houses he’s bought cheaply in Vegas, getting involved in the renovating himself. He still has a music studio in his house, but says it’s “on the backburner”.

“I still enjoy music, I still write and record and play around purely for fun, the same thing I did 20 years ago with Darren but I don’t take it as seriously now as far as the dream I dreamt, which I realised wasn’t exactly my ideal dream. The dream I have now is my family. That’s where I’m happy, two beautiful daughters, a beautiful wife, still going good. It’s tough at times but it’s ultimately the next one of my dreams I’m dreaming.”

Hayes too has left music behind, but only temporarily. After studying acting and improv he’s now found a new creative partner, Tim Stanton, and is doing a comedy podcast called He Said He Said.

A recent experiment saw them “test” if Hayes had any residual fame in America.

“It’s so sweet, people wrote saying they feel bad for me,” Hayes laughs. “I’m complicit. The music has always been more famous than me. Kylie is a star. Darren Hayes is an artist. I’m a singer, I write songs, but the things I do have always been bigger than me. I’ve always accepted that. From our point of view it’s hilarious, if anyone’s going to take the piss it’s fun to do it to yourself.

“I did my last (live) show three years ago,” Hayes continues of his new life. “I came off stage and had no idea what I was going to do with the rest of my life, which was terrifying and exciting. My husband (Richard Cullen) and I decided to go to America for an adventure. Three years later we’re permanent residents, we’re as happy as ever, he’s screenwriting and I’ve spent the last two years studying at the Groundlings Improv school. No one really knew I was doing it. I went through the whole process which for a 43-year-old man is really challenging. I’m so proud I got through it and did it under the radar. Every week I do my comedy show I laugh all day. It took me a while to realise I wasn’t laughing when I was making music for a while.”

Hayes says seeing Kate Bush live last year, after decades off the stage, gave him hope. “I knew that would be me. I know I’ll make another record and tour but that time isn’t now, at all. I’ve had 20 incredible years in the music industry peppered with some really terrible, harrowing times, because that is life.

The Gardens Between Gay

“The music industry is not fun at the moment. It’s in such a weird state of flux. I relate more to someone like Kate Bush than any other new artist around today. I’m lucky. A lot of people get bitter. I’m really proud I’ve never been cynical or bitter. Ever. I’ve had moments where I was literally locked out of a radio station in Australia because we turned up five minutes late. They refused to even interview me, and that was after selling 20 million records. I’ve had that experience and I’ve sung with Pavarotti.

“It’s an extraordinary journey and I’ve never taken any of it for granted. I’ve always thought this is a fun adventure. I’m still a kid from Logan who is still afraid of money, I still don’t trust posh people. I still get a thrill when I sing in the shower. As long as I can keep that mentality it makes me feel young and excited about getting out of bed every day. Maybe it’s a survival mechanism but I managed to do it where I just do things that are fun.

“I am so grateful for my solo career for how difficult it’s been. I keep doing that with my life anyway. Trying to get signed as Savage Garden was no different to trying to get a solo single played on 2Day FM. It was no different to turning up to an acting audition here in LA as an actor. I have constantly put myself through that process, I’m not sure why but I think it’s because I enjoy bravery in my life. I’m very grateful for the adventure of my life.”

Both Hayes and Jones realise that Savage Garden lucked out releasing albums just before people stopped paying for albums. As well as their album sales, constant American radio play for I Knew I Loved You and Truly Madly Deeply (among other singles) pays their bills to this day.

“We got in just before iTunes, the last real sexy wave of the industry,” Jones says. “We were very very fortunate. I’m so appreciative of the fact I’m still getting paid today for something I did so long ago. I did it not to get paid, I did it because I loved doing it, it was that innocent. For people to be putting their hands in their pocket today and buying our music, I’m so honoured and grateful.”

Hayes, also, is extremely grateful of the songs he calls his children.

“It was an window of time, just before the fall of the Roman empire. A lot of people made a lot of money. I poured that money I made into 20 years of a life of being an artist. I’m very proud of that. I don’t live an extravagant lifestyle. I’ve toured in ways that have never made money. I’ve made feature length animated music videos. I’ve done it all, everything I wanted to do because of some of the Savage Garden songs. A million times thank you. Who could ever ask for more?”

The Singles (Roadshow/Universal) is out now.
