The Terrasse
The elevated terrace between the Carrousel and the rest of the garden used to be at the front of the Tuileries Palace. After the Palace was burned in 1870, it was made into a road, which was put underground in 1877. The terrace is decorated by two large vases which formerly were in the gardens of Versailles, and two statues by Aristide Maillol; the Monument to Cezanne on the north and the Monument aux morts de Port Vendres on the south.
