    The palace was built in 1728 for the daughter of Louis XIV, Duchess de Bourbon. In 1803-1807, in order of Napoleon, the palace was renovated, especially façade and since then there are no changes in the palace's look. Nowadays the Bourbon Palace is the place for the meeting of National Assembly.

    Today, Assemblee Nationale is the seat of the French parliament (Chamber of Deputies).

    The building (formerly known as Palais Bourbon) was erected between 1722-1728 by Louise Francoise de Bourbon after the plans of Giardini and Jacques Gabriel.

    The official seat of the French National Assembly is housed in the Palais Bourbon at the southbank of the Seine, just south of the Place and the Pont de la Concorde. The French National Assembly is one of the two houses of the bicameral Parliament of France. The other is the French Senate, housed in the Palais de Luxembourg.

    The Palais Bourbon was originally built for Louis XIV's daughter the duchesse de Bourbon. It is designed by the Italian architect Giardini. Its construction started in 1722 and is completed in 1728. At the start it was a principal block with simple wings ending in pavilions. The grand pedimented Roman portico facing the Place de la Concorde is added to the Palais Bourbon in 1806-08 by the architect Poyet. This portico mirrors the similar classicizing portico of the Madeleine, at the northern end of the rue Royale.

    Palais Bourbon is in front of the bridge of the Consent - Pont de la Concorde. Its facade in accuracy repeats a facade of the church of Sacred Maria Madeleine at another beach of Sena. The building was constructed in 1728 for the daughter of Lui XIV duchess Burbon who gave the palace the same name. In 1764 it became the property of prince Konde. He reconstructed the palace and gave it the today's view. Within revolution the palace was confiscated. Now the residence of the National assembly of France is situated in the palace.

    Built for the Duchess of Bourbon, daughter of the ultimate autocrat Louis XIV.

    It is now home to the French Parliament. Guided visits are available but be prepared to present your passport or national identity card for entrance.

    The construction of this palace spanned the years 1722 to 1728 and was built for the Duchess of Bourbon, daughter of Louis XIV. The neo-classical front, though, dates back to 1807, corresponding to the style of the peristyle at Madeleine, which, on the opposite bank, closes off the view onto Place de la Concorde. This palace is now the site of the Assemblée Nationale, and has been beautifully decorated, notably by Delacroix.

    For a city like Paris and a country like France, the National Assembly house seemed a bit too ordinary to me. I was disappointed not only at the unimpressive building but also at the traffic in front of it. Quite unusual for an important place like that. It is close to the place de la Concorde.

    This building, where the senate is located, on one side of the Seine, across the Louvre is simply astonishing.

    one arm of the French congress ,Assemblée nationale or house of representatives.
    laws are discussed here, then pass on to the senat or senate and then on to the president. With some minor variations in case of no compromises.

    Located on the left bank, the National Assembly is seat of power of the French Parliment. Built in 1722 as a private residence, it was converted to legislative use in 1827. Guided tours are available on Saturdays when Parliment is not in session.
