The Institut de France hosts the French academies, founded in 1793 to replace the former Royal academies. The academies were first set in Le Louvre, then moved to the current location: a 1661 building ordered by Cardinal Mazarin (a leading statesman under Louis XIII and Louis XIV) to host a school called "college of the four nations." The institute is composed of 5 academies: French academy (which defines the French language), inscriptions and humanities, sciences, fine arts, moral and political sciences.
