Historic buildings

The palace and the Louvre are separated by Ruede Rivoili, a Baroque building and one of Parisian's favorite gardens. Historical changes The palace was originally the official residence of the Prime Minister Richelieu, and was later dedicated to Louis XIII. Louis XIV moved here from the Louvre and became a bustling commercial center in Paris in the hands of the Orleans family. At the beginning of the 18th century, artists, writers and courtesans entertained in the game halls and clubs of the Royal Palace. Court of Honor The palace is mainly composed of Court of Honor and Garden. The most famous in the Court of Honor is Les Deux Plateaux by Daniel Buren. 260 black and white vertical striped marble columns of different heights are regularly scattered on the open space grid of the Court of Honor, and many tourists can be seen posing with them in various poses. Going further inside, you can see a unique water fountain fountain, which is decorated with dozens of huge round silver balls like water droplets. In addition, the Lagalerie des Proues in the Court of Honor is one of the few buildings that retains the original appearance of Richelieu's residence. Garden The garden is at the rear of the palace building, 226 meters long and 92 meters wide, with a large circular fountain built in the middle and 4 rows of tall trees planted. Many locals sit on benches to bask in the sun and chat, or quietly read books. There is also a bronze cannon in the garden, which fires three times every Wednesday at noon. The garden is surrounded by cloisters, namely the Montboncier Gallery, the Valois Gallery, the Beaujolais Gallery and the Orleans Gallery. The Duke of Orleans converted the first floor of the cloister into a shopping center in 1784, which was once the busiest shopping street in Paris. one. These arcades can be said to be the ancestors of Parisian arcades, creating a trend of Parisian promenade-style shops.
