The Élysée Palace is defined by a monumental gateway featuring four Ionic columns, which opens onto a large, rounded ceremonial courtyard. Located at fifty-five Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, this structure serves as the official residence of the President of France. It was originally completed in seventeen twenty-two as a private mansion for the Count of Évreux and has since evolved through centuries of shifting political fortunes to become the central seat of French executive power.
