Galerie d'Orléans, Long gallery in Palais-Royal, Paris, France.

The Galerie d'Orleans extends for 66 meters in length and 21.8 meters in width, featuring Doric columns that support a horizontal band between the palace court and garden.

Built between 1829 and 1831 by architects Charles Percier and Pierre Fontaine, this gallery replaced the wooden Galerie de Bois that had stood since 1786.

The gallery space has hosted various exhibitions, theater performances, and artistic events, including a temporary theater for the Comedie-Francaise in 2012.

The gallery connects multiple sections of Palais-Royal, providing covered passage between the palace court and gardens while offering protection from weather conditions.

The original glass roof, installed in the 19th century, measured 70 meters in length with an 8.5-meter span before its removal in 1935.
