The Royal Palace of Paris (Palais-Royal) was originally built in 1636 by Cardinal Richelieu - so it's no wonder it was called the Cardinal's Palace (Palais-Cardinal) at the time. Richelieu gave the palace to the king in his will, so it became royal in 1642. In the following decades, it became the meeting point of the royal court.
The Palais-Royal and its associated gardens are located near the Louvre and on the road leading to the Opé ra. Although this beautiful place can be seen quite quickly, but a relaxing break from the crowds and free admission make the Palais Royal a very worthwhile attraction in Paris. They love taking photos here. The yard is divided into two separate sections. The first large square surrounded by stone columns is called the Cour d'Honneur.
Here is a rather controversial piece of art by Danial Buren, who placed black-and-white striped columns in even rows throughout the courtyard, on which everyone takes a selfie. Just behind the columns are large fountains with many large shiny balls. Behind this first square is a large second courtyard where you can see the gardens of the Palais Royal, also surrounded by buildings, most of which are now small shops. The gardens were once larger, but have been reduced over time. The surrounding buildings were erected in 1780 by the Duke of Orlé ans in an attempt to make money, mainly in cafes and brothels (and, according to rumors, quite successfully). The gardens of the Palais Royale are quite beautiful, with many flower beds and a large pond in the middle. This is a great place to take a break from the crowds of tourists.
