点评:The large, octagonal lake in front of the Luxembourg Palace is the centrepiece of the Luxembourg Gardens.
With the Marie Medici’s grand palace as a backdrop, this is probably the most photographed spot in the park.
We spent some time, here, just enjoying the sun and strolling around the water’s edge. The surrounding flower beds are a colourful mass of red, purple and pink, stone lions stand guard on the surrounding walls and Diana, the Roman goddess of hunting, stands in the centre of the green lawn with her bow and arrow ready and a prancing deer by her side.
A series of twenty classical, marble statues known as ‘The 20 Queens of France’ stand on raised balustraded terraces either side of the lake and a small fountain in the middle of the lake sends up a jet of water (although it’s disproportionately small).
There is plenty of seating with the park’s iconic, green chairs scattered randomly around.
At certain times, you can hire colourful little toy boats to sail on the lake which would make the whole scene even prettier but there weren’t any when we were there mid-week in September.
From here, don’t miss the Medici Fountain which is around to the right of the palace.

以玛丽·美第奇家族的宏伟宫殿为背景,这里可能是公园里拍照最多的地方。
我们在这里待了一段时间,享受阳光,在水边漫步。周围的花坛是一片色彩缤纷的红色、紫色和粉色,石狮守卫着周围的墙壁,罗马狩猎女神戴安娜站在绿色草坪的中央,弓箭准备就绪,身边还有一只腾跃的鹿。
被称为“法国二十位皇后”的二十座古典大理石雕像矗立在湖两边的凸起栏杆露台上,湖中央的小喷泉喷出一股水柱(虽然它不成比例地小)。
公园里有很多座位,公园标志性的绿色椅子随意散落在周围。
在某些时候,你可以租一些色彩鲜艳的小玩具船在湖上航行,这会让整个景色更加美丽,但我们九月中旬去的时候没有看到任何玩具船。
从这里出发,不要错过宫殿右侧的美第奇喷泉。
