The Palais Bourbon is identifiable by the grand colonnaded portico facing the Seine, which features twelve majestic Corinthian columns and a pediment sculpted with figures representing the Republic, Strength, and Justice. Commissioned in seventeen twenty-two by Louise Françoise de Bourbon, the daughter of King Louis the Fourteenth, the palace began as a private country residence on what was then the rural edge of Paris.
