Place du Palais-Bourbon


The Place du Palais-Bourbon is a historic square outside the Palais Bourbon in the 7th arrondissement of Paris, France. The land was acquired by Louis Joseph, Prince of Condé in 1769. The Prince de Condé hired architect Jean-François Leroy to design the square. Its construction began in 1788, and it was completed in 1804. In the mean time, the Prince of Condé had fled due to the French Revolution. In 1855, a statue named La Loi designed by Jean-Jacques Feuchère was installed at the centre of the square.
