The French Senate is now here, and initially the French Queen Marie de' Medici decided after the death of Henry the Fourth (known to us all from Dumas's "Queen Margot", and to some from the novel by Heinrich Mann) to build a palace reminiscent of her native Florentine Palazzo Pitti. By the way, I've been to the Pitti Gallery in Florence, and I can confirm that it's remotely similar. In 1631, architects Salomon Debros and Jacques Lemessier built the desired palace. By the way, it became Luxembourg City, since previously the house of the Dukes of Luxembourg, namely the Prince de Tagry, stood here. There was a wonderful garden all around. After the Medici, the Dukes of Luxembourg and the Dauphin (the future King Henry the Thirteenth) lived here, and for a short time there was a prison and the highest organ of revolutionary France, the Executive Directory. This is such a historic building. And a masterpiece of French architecture with an Italian touch.
