Facing the Seine with neoclassical authority, the Palais Bourbon stands as the seat of the French National Assembly — a symbol of democracy housed in stone. Its colonnaded façade and commanding pediment reflect the ideals of the Republic in the very heart of Paris.
Built in the early 18th century for the Duchess of Bourbon, the palace was later transformed during the Revolution into the lower house of Parliament. Today, its monumental presence opposite the Place de la Concorde reminds passersby of the long, evolving story of French governance.
With LeFrenchWay, discover the Palais Bourbon from a new perspective. As you ride past on a Solex, your guide will trace its royal origins, revolutionary repurposing, and the political life that continues behind its doors.
