Kings, revolutionaries, and theater people

Le Palais-Royal at the end of the 17th century
During the revolution, it was at the Palais Royal that Camille Desmoulins invited the people to revolt on July 12, 1789.

Since 1871, the Palais Royal has been the seat of several prestigious administrations: the Council of State, the Constitutional Council, and a section of the Ministry of Culture.
The Palais Royal and the theater go hand in hand:
- In 1660, Molière used the theater hall constructed in the right wing of the Palais. There, Lully organized the Opera, which burned down in 1781,
- The Comédie-Française was set up in 1799 in the opposite wing. It still remains in there. The website was rather poorly made and in french only but by visiting, you can get information on the translation of the shows. Note that the Richelieu Hall has just been renovated. It is necessary to also know that the Comédie-Française cannot be visited other than during pre-scheduled tours in French only.
- The Théâtre du Palais Royal (french only) whose arrangement is rather oriented towards boulevard theater
The Tour
The Cour d'Honneur, the Buren Columns, and the French Garden
You can go by the cour d'honneur and its famous Buren Columns during your tour. The work was commissioned by Jack Lang, who was then the Minister of Culture, in 1985. It has an area of 3000 m² and is made up of 260 columns of marble. You may or may not like it, but the work never leaves anybody indifferent. The project was completed in 1986 and has led to many controversies.
The Buren Columns
You can then continue your walk along the beautiful alleys lined with lime trees and choose to rest on a bench or a chair near the pond. Tranquility guaranteed.
