The Palais Bourbon, a place of parliamentary life, has welcomed the National Assembly in its various forms since 1798.
Italian in style, its name comes from the Duchess of Bourbon who owned the land on which the monument was built.
After the death of the Duchess, vast expansion work was carried out: the courtyard was surrounded by buildings and extended west to the Hôtel Lassay.
The façade consists of 12 columns, and was completed in 1810.
