The Palais-Royal is "the capital in the capital", a city within a city incessantly enthusing one and all. Blending political and cultural history to contemporary culture, the palace is a true image of Paris. Rare are the sites that can demonstrate such concentration of historical events.

The facades and sculptures of the Palais-Royal reveal the different layers of French history from the 17th to the 20th centuries.
