Élysée Palace, Historic presidential residence in 8th arrondissement, France
The Élysée Palace contains numerous formal rooms decorated with period furniture, paintings, and tapestries representing different eras of French design and craftsmanship.
Built in 1722 as a private mansion for Count of Évreux, the palace became the official residence of French presidents in 1848 during the Second Republic.
The palace hosts regular diplomatic functions, state dinners, and official ceremonies where international relations and French protocols merge in formal settings.
The palace opens its doors to the public during European Heritage Days in September, allowing visitors to explore selected areas of this political center.
The building contains a bunker constructed during the Cold War period, designed to protect the French president in case of nuclear attacks.
