Built for Cardinal Richelieu by the architect Lemercier, builder of the Sorbonne, the main building (1634), facing the Louvre, became a royal residence (regency of Anne of Austria) and then for the Orléans family from 1661. The work was completed and redesigned in the two centuries The eighteenth and nineteenth. The three wings closing the sides of the garden date from the end of the 18th century.

Maybe this will help someone? You can enter the Louvre only with electronic tickets, but you can buy by going inside, you need to provide a certificate of vaccination with the desired phaser and the ticket will cost € 15.

Very nice and calm place. No great works but worth visiting the place. It’s free too. It does not have any great artworks but has a nice garden, nice corridors. You feel relaxed when you visit this place. I suggest every tourist to spend 30 min at this place either before or after visiting louvre museum

A real hidden gem behind the Louvres. Not as crowded as the Tuilleries and definitely smaller. I always enjoy it on a beautiful sunny day when in town. You can also sip a coffee in one of the coffee shops surrounding it.

Amazing Palace to walk around and enjoy the day, really cool architecture where you can take a lot of pictures all around.

We enjoyed here a very nice show performed by a group of artists.

Stunning place to come as a tourist. The parc next to it is a bit dirty but it’s quiet and nice. It’s lovely to take pictures in the middle, and coming in right as sunset hits paris makes for pictures with orange stones, it’s stunning! I highly recommend for anyone taking a stroll through Opera or near the Louvre

A square full of life, people are dancing in a corner and others are getting married, chairs in the garden for people to read and enjoy nature and observing the surroundings. Has a very special atmosphere

Very interesting architecture. Small square with different columns in the yard of the Ministry of Culture. I find it very peaceful, interesting, unusual, different. Highly recommend.

Wide open space with a very neat visual. In the warmer season events are held here like fashion shows. Beautiful for a stroll, photo oops or just a cut through while walking the city.

This place is like taking you back into the past world of glorious living, with huge gardens and courtyards of royals now opened and accessible to the public. Paris has such a well preserved culture and history, and one must take time to soak it all in.

Nice area encompassing the Public Square, gardens and building of the Palais Royal… plenty of history in the place and so many nice shops and cafes to explore. In the spring and summer the gardens are a lovely place to chill out, especially by the fountain, and the inner courtyard with the black and white sculptures make for a great opportunity. There’s a Metro stop just opposite by the Louvre, with the lines 1 & 7. Close to other attractions like the Opera and Louvre, with the Tuileries gardens and also close to the river Seine…

Great spot to take some insta pictures 😂 Just don’t go there in busy hours. We were there around sunset and amount people there was fine.

This place is a perfect mixture of calm and chaos. Good spot for pictures.

Cool place to visit while near the Louvre museum. Columns for photshooting and nearby garden to enjoy the greenery.

Very rarely does one get to see interactive public art and this is one such place. The black and white pillars here are classic and you can see so many people interacting with the permanent installation. Definitely a must visit. It is right next to the park where Emily in Paris was shot, and in one of the most popular area of the city

This beautiful garden is a must-see for anyone visiting Paris. It is so calm and peaceful, despite the number of people who frequent it. It is particularly popular for picnics. Most benches have quotes on them from great French writers. You may also recognise it from Taylor Swift's Begin Again or season 1 of Emily in Paris.

Great place to visit if you want to take pictures because honestly for me it wasn't that much thing to do here except for taking pictures the park is good for all year's weather except for summer 😅

A very popular place among the tourists. Amazing square with original installation. Children always jump and ride over there. Next to it you have a small square where you can enjoy first spring sunny days on bank under the amazing and beautiful magnolia trees. Too crowded in weekend.

Iconic spot turned into everyone's Instagram backdrop. Still really stunning to see in person but you'll definitely be in random selfies from strangers

This is one of the famous instagram spot. People take photos in front of black white stones.

Perfect for walks, taking a run. Nice place for some great shots of you are into photography.

Booked on Get your guide , was fab trip , on time, comfortable bus, awesome guide n no waiting. Wear comfortable shoes, carry water n small snacks if u have kids.

Those striped columns plays two rolea: nice photo (insta) spots and attraction for tired kids :) And the palace and garden is worth to see as well of course :)

This is a hidden gem that is easy to miss. It took me four trips to Paris to visit it. It is an absolutely stunning palace, make sure to stroll the garden and the courtyard to take it all in. The history associated with it is very interesting, it was originally built for Cardinal Richelieu and it has played very interesting roles throughout history as well as evolved it's architecture.

It is fun to stroll around to walk through the black and white colums. It is quite here. Enjoy the park and walk through to the end: you will see the part theatre Palais Royal. I liked it to be here.

A more secluded park that offers the same fountains and chairs the Louvre park is famous for but with 10 times less business. You can really get some hard-earned quietness there in the evening.

A cool art installation in Paris, I love that you can get on the columns and take pictures here.

Lovely place. No matter how many people there are you’ll still get to see the beautiful architecture.

Lovely park in which people chill out around the garden. There are chairs 🪑 and benches 🛋️ to sit and enjoy this quite place in the heart of Paris. I recommend taking a 10-20 minutes detour from the Louvre for at least a walk around the park.

Yet another amazing place to see in Paris. Kids will also have a lot of fun!

Great place to take pictures. Beautiful place to visit.

Good for the kiddos to burn some energy when they get tired of the artsy fartsy scene. The fountains and the pillars are beautiful as is most things in Paris.

Beautiful place if you just want to escape big crowds and relax for a little bit . Worth seeing though.

a lovely place to rest. No hextic, completly silent spot in the middle of Paris. 15 minutes walking from Louvre

Gorgeous and a relatively well kept secret. Hopefully it stays that way. :) Beautiful gardens and a tranquil place to sit and relax.

Nice place to enjoy the relax of the afternoon and worth to have a walk.

I'm pleasant to see Palais-Royal in Paris It is nice Heritage Architecture nearest Bourse De Commerce I'm happy go inside free for looking walking. I'm searching how I'm can cooperation with Cultural centres, Museums, Galleries.

Such a beauty. A friend took me there to chill, and it turns out anyone from any age can enjoy a few minutes or hours in this place.

Beyond the famous Buren columns, shops and dine-ins under the arcades. Sadly the place looks a bit forgotten among major nearby attractions like Le Louvre and the Comédie française

Beautiful landmark with interesting photo ops! We only stopped in to see it. Not sure if there are other things to do there, but its a historic site worth learning more about.

This beautiful hidden arcade hides a variety of little stores , from vintage clothing to antiques to high fashion .it is so worth it and there are also lovely small places to stop by for lunch or just for a coffee !!!

Beautiful spot in Paris. Unfortunately, the gardens were under construction.

One of the best place for Instagram photo spots in Paris. Its not much crowded with tourists compared to other famous places.

Poles sticking out of the ground. Nothing to see on a rainy day and I doubt it's a nice view on a sunny day.

Great park to take a walk

Lovely architecture. Easy to combine with your Louvre visit :)
