Petit Luxembourg, Private mansion in 6th arrondissement of Paris, France
The Petit Luxembourg stands adjacent to the Luxembourg Palace, featuring classical French architectural elements with symmetrical design and ornamental details throughout its structure.
Marie de Medici acquired the property in the early 17th century, initiating its transformation from a private residence into a significant political location.
The mansion maintains its position as the official residence of the French Senate President, representing the connection between architecture and governmental functions.
While the interior remains closed to regular visitors, the exterior facade can be viewed from the surrounding Luxembourg Gardens throughout the year.
During European Heritage Days, this normally restricted mansion opens its doors, allowing the public to explore its refined interiors and governmental spaces.
