Jardin du Palis-Royal - 1780
Secret place.
Between the Louvre and the Place de la Concorde, a wonderful french-style garden.
In the 1780’s, Philippe IV of Orleans (later named “Philippe Egalité” ) acquired the whole place. Extravagant and overly indebted, he decided to build shops around his gardens and rent them out. Convinced by the idea of having a theatre, the Duke thus decided to build the “Comédie française”.
