This panorama unfolds along what travel writers described as one of the most attractive views of Paris, "up that splendid avenue and garden stretching from the heart of the city to the Arc de Triomphe." The Tuileries—situated on the land previously occupied by tile workshops (tuileries)—was the capital's oldest and most prominent garden. A "favorite resort of Parisians of all classes," it boasted such features as "a superb jet of water ... thrown from an octagonal basin hollowed by [André] Le Nôtre."
