Palais Niel, Military palace in Toulouse, France
The Palais Niel displays neoclassical architecture with a north facade featuring martial elements and two wings framing an honor courtyard.
Built between 1863 and 1868 as headquarters for Marshal Adolphe Niel, the palace now serves as the main office of the 11th Parachute Brigade.
The palace contains multiple reception rooms, including the Marshals' Salon with its half-rotunda, military trophies, and allegories opening onto the park.
The restoration project, started in 2022, received 578,400 euros in donations to renovate the facades and auxiliary buildings including former stables.
The dining room maintains its Napoleon III furniture and paintings from the Augustins Museum, accommodating no more than fourteen guests.

Toulouse offers numerous locations for photography beyond its main attractions. The Renaissance courtyards of Hôtel d'Assézat, the gardens of Raymond VI, and the converted water tower of Château d'Eau present architectural interest. The Garonne riverbanks, including Quai de la Daurade and Port Saint-Sauveur, provide water views. Historic buildings like Hôtel Dieu Saint-Jacques and La Grave show the city's architectural heritage. Gardens and parks such as Grand Rond and Prairie des Filtres add natural elements to urban photographs.
