Pavillon de Flore, Royal pavilion at Louvre Palace in Paris, France
The Pavillon de Flore stands at the southwest corner of the Louvre Palace, connecting the Grande Galerie with the former Tuileries Palace site.
Built in 1607 during Henry IV's reign, the pavilion underwent substantial reconstruction by architect Hector Lefuel between 1864 and 1868.
Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux created the monumental sculpture The Triumph of Flora for the pavilion's south facade during the Second Empire period.
The pavilion forms part of the Denon Wing of the Louvre Museum, marking the connection point between different sections of the museum complex.
During the French Revolution, the structure was renamed Pavillon de l'Egalité and served as headquarters for the Committee of Public Safety.
