Luggage storageDomaine National du Palais-Royal

Palais Royal in Paris, France, began life in the early 17th century as the Palais-Cardinal built for Cardinal Richelieu and later passed to the royal family. Over centuries it evolved from a private residence into a lively public complex: formal gardens, covered arcades lined with shops and cafés, and cultural institutions such as the Comédie-Française and government offices. The site also played a key role in the run-up to the French Revolution, serving as a popular meeting and protest spot in the late 18th century.

Visitors come to the Palais Royal to stroll its manicured gardens, photograph Daniel Buren’s striped columns in the central courtyard, and soak up the mix of history and contemporary Parisian life just steps from the Louvre. Its central location makes it a practical stop while exploring Paris, offering peaceful green space, unique architecture, and easy access to nearby museums, shopping on Rue Saint-Honoré, and major transport links.
