A formal garden between the Louvre and the Place de la Concorde. Catherine de' Medici laid it out in 1564, on the site of old clay pits that once supplied tiles for the city's roofs and gave the garden its name. André Le Nôtre redrew it a century later into the long straight axis that still runs west through the city. The chestnut allées meet at two stone basins. People drag the green metal chairs to whatever spot suits, sit with a coffee or a book, watch children push toy boats. Free, open most days, walkable from the Louvre in five minutes.

Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
