Palais Bourbon
Palais Bourbon Review
The most prominent feature of the Palais Bourbon—home of the Assemblée Nationale, the French Parliament, since 1798—is its colonnaded facade, commissioned by Napoléon to match that of the Madeleine, across the Seine. Jean-Pierre Cortot's sculpted pediment portrays France holding the tablets of Law, flanked by Force and Justice. There are sometimes outdoor photo exhibitions here, on the Assemblée's railings, and there are always fine views across the Seine to Place de la Concorde and the church of the Madeleine.
