So this is where the President of France lives and the gardens are now open every first Sunday of the month to the public (free entry). The garden is located behind the palace, with a very nice lush green lawn that you can sprawl out in and that is surrounded by flowers, trees, and tons of security guards! We happened to be there when the President himself, Francois Hollande, came out and greeted the visitors! A very unique experience if you happen to be in Paris at the right time.
