Quartier du Palais-Royal, Administrative quarter in 1st arrondissement, Paris, France.
The Palais-Royal complex encompasses grand buildings with classical French architecture, connected by covered arcades and centered around formal gardens.
Cardinal Richelieu commissioned the construction of this palace between 1633 and 1639, which later became a royal residence after his death in 1642.
The Comédie-Française national theater company has performed at the Palais-Royal since 1799, maintaining French dramatic arts in this historic setting.
The gardens remain open to the public and can be accessed through entrances on Rue de Valois, Rue de Montpensier, and Rue de Beaujolais.
The Constitutional Council of France and Ministry of Culture now operate from this former royal palace, blending government functions with historical architecture.
