At the end of the avenue in the Luxembourg gardens, you can visit the oldest functional Astronomical Observatory in the world, which was built in the second half of the seventeenth century by the same architect as the façade of the Louvre. It consists of a central building flanked by two side towers, and contains an extraordinary collection of scientific instruments: if you are passionate about studying the stars, entering here is a must.
