Luxembourg Palace.
The palace was built between 1615 and 1630 by Marie de Medici, who settled there in 1625 during the construction of the building, until 1631, when she was exiled from France by her son, king Louis XIII. French princes then used the building, which was modified in 1811 to host the second parliament chamber, now known as the Senate.
