The Palace of Bourbon

The Palace of Bourbon

The Palace of Bourbon is located on the Left Bank of the Seine River in Paris, France. It was built for Louise Françoise de Bourbon, the daughter of King Louis XIV, and named after her. Designed by a renowned Italian architect, it was completed in 1728. Since 1789, it has served as the seat of France’s highest legislative body and is seen as a symbol of French law.

To the east of the Palace of Bourbon lies the Tuileries Palace, while to the west is the Champs-Élysées, exuding the distinctive romantic charm of France. The palace is magnificent and majestic, elegant yet retaining a classical beauty that captivates visitors. The grand portico on the north side, formed by 12 large circular stone columns, supports a triangular pediment adorned with full-body reliefs. Thirty steps below the portico are flanked by six finely crafted statues, both graceful and refined. The interior of the Palace of Bourbon is equally luxurious and splendid. Despite being over 250 years old, the decorations remain as pristine as new, giving visitors the feeling of stepping into a grand palace — sacred and solemn.
