@oreaides asks ⇥ luxembourg palace or the palace of versailles
Surrounded by the world-famous Luxembourg Gardens, this 17th century palace has been the seat of the French Senate since 1804 and it is here that the French Senate still meets today. Part of the palace also contains a sizable palace library, with over 450,000 books. Works on the Luxembourg Palace started in early 17th century, at the behest of Queen Marie of the Medicis. Consequently, it passed through the ownership of several other prominent personalities of the era, including king Louis XIV and the infamous Madame de Berry, only to eventually be seized by the French Revolutionists and turned into the home of Napoleon.
