PALAIS ROYAL, A WORLD OF ITS OWN

PASS THROUGH THE GRANDIOSE COURTYARDS OF THE LOUVRE...

At this café turn right, cross the street...

(The café Marly, the rue de Rivoli)

...and follow the almost imperceptible passage next to the government building.

The Conseil d'État decides on whether the government follows the law.

Come upon another spectacular courtyard...

...and one of the city's loveliest sites:

Hidden from the street,
"Palais-Royal" is a haven of tranquility...

 

...now.
