Einführung

This tranquil garden courtyard with its charming palace was built at the request of Cardinal Richelieu. It features beautiful rose paths, fountains, and lush greenery. After Cardinal Richelieu's death, it was gifted to Louis XIII. The palace has since gone through many changes in history, such as being transformed into a café and shops during the reign of Philippe IV, making it a popular gathering place for the public. During the French Revolution in 1793, it witnessed important events, and then in 1871, it became state property once again with different institutions occupying it. In 1985, Daniel Buren's art installation of striped columns was erected in the courtyard, causing controversy among the public. Additionally, in 2000, the "Kiosque des Noctambules" (kiosk of the night owls) was built next to Place Colette, featuring a glass ball pavilion created by Jean-Michel Othoniel, showcasing the perfect blend of history and modernity.
