Tunnel des Tuileries is a tunnel parallel to the Seine at the Quai des Tuileries close to Louvre. Today, the 861 m long tunnel is reserved for pedestrians and bicycles. When it opened in 1967, it was used for one-way traffic from west to east as an integral part of Voie Georges-Pompidou.

In July 2022, colorful lights were installed and artists have painted several huge frescos inside the tunnel.
