Palais des Études, Fine arts academy building in Saint-Germain-des-Prés, France
The Palais des Études features Italian Renaissance architecture with a metal-framed glass roof covering its central courtyard and decorated galleries on the first floor.
Architects François Debret and Félix Duban designed and completed the palace in 1839 on the site of a former Augustinian monastery turned national museum.
The palace walls display copies of Vatican frescoes and a circular painting by Paul Delaroche depicting portraits of renowned artists throughout history.
The building stands at 14 rue Bonaparte, accessible via metro line 4 at Saint-Germain-des-Prés station and bus lines 27, 69, and 72.
The interior courtyard contains metal columns that function as rainwater drains while supporting the glass roof structure installed in 1863.
