Cam Jazz Big Band at the Luxembourg kiosk
An hour of big-band jazz in the garden: Cam Jazz plays the Luxembourg music kiosk on Saturday 26 September. Entry is free.
Outdoors Paris
Make room for a garden hour: fountains, tree-lined paths and a music kiosk on the Left Bank. Entry to the garden is free.
The Luxembourg works well as the open space in a day of indoor plans. Walk through, settle by the basin, or check whether a performance at the music kiosk fits your afternoon. Admission to the garden is free; individual activities and purchases may have separate charges.
Opening times change through the year, generally twice a month, so there is no single weekly timetable. Use the official seasonal schedule linked below before leaving, especially for an evening visit. The garden has several entrances; the address below identifies the Porte Odéon approach. Follow the posted rules for lawns and paths. The photograph was taken in 2017.
