Palais Fénelon, 18th century episcopal palace in Le Cateau-Cambrésis, France.

The palace features a monumental entrance with blue stone columns, combining brick and stone materials to create a striking two-level facade.

Architect Theodore Brongniart designed this residence for the Archbishops of Cambrai, which received monument status protection by decree in December 1944.

The palace now houses the Matisse Departmental Museum, displaying regional art collections and works related to the artist's life and career.

Visitors can explore the palace Monday and Wednesday through Sunday, with access to the museum collections, courtyards, and surrounding gardens.

The palace grounds include a sloping park bordered by century-old linden trees that lead to a water feature encircled by diverse vegetation.
