Palais de Justice
Palais de Justice Review
The courthouse complex was built in the 1860s by Baron Haussmann in his characteristically weighty neoclassical style, on the site of the former royal palace of St-Louis that later housed Parliament until the French Revolution. The complex is recognizable from afar with the tower of Sainte-Chapelle, which is inside the courthouse complex, peeking out. Black-frocked judges and lawyers can often be spotted taking a cigarette break on the majestic staircase facing rue du Harlay.
