Palais de Justice

Palais de Justice Review

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