This elegant former royal residence combines Renaissance architecture with tree-lined gardens and charming covered arcades hosting independent boutiques and cafés. The stunning courtyard, punctuated by Daniel Buren's distinctive black-and-white striped columns, offers a serene escape from the bustling streets of Paris. The palace interior remains largely a government building, but the grounds and surrounding galleries are open for wandering and discovery.
