	Tuileries Palace - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		His garden designer André Le Notre laid out parterres for the Tuileries in 1664, but when the king left, the building was virtually abandoned; it was used only as a theater, and its gardens became a fashionable resort of Parisians.
		The Tuileries were later stormed on August 10, 1792 by the Paris mob, who overwhelmed and massacred the Swiss Guards; the royal family fled through the gardens and took refuge with the Legislative Assembly.
		During the Second Empire, the Tuileries Palace was extensively refurbished and redecorated after the looting and damages that occurred during the Revolution of 1848.
