7th arrondissement of Paris in the context of "Musée de l'Armée"

The Palais Bourbon (pronounced [pa.lɛ buʁ.bɔ̃]) is the meeting place of the National Assembly, the lower legislative chamber of the French Parliament. It is in the 7th arrondissement of Paris, on the Rive Gauche of the Seine across from the Place de la Concorde. The official address is on the Rue de l'Université, facing the Place du Palais-Bourbon.

The original palace was built beginning in 1722 for Louise Françoise de Bourbon, Duchess of Bourbon, the legitimised daughter of Louis XIV and the Marquise de Montespan. Four successive architects – Lorenzo Giardini, Pierre Cailleteau, Jean Aubert and Ange-Jacques Gabriel – completed the palace in 1728. It was then confiscated from Louis Joseph, Prince of Condé, during the French Revolution and nationalised. From 1795 to 1799, during the Directory, it was the meeting place of the Council of Five Hundred, which chose the government leaders. Beginning in 1806, during Napoleon Bonaparte's First French Empire, Bernard Poyet's Neoclassical façade was added to mirror that of the Église de la Madeleine, facing it across the Seine beyond the Place de la Concorde.

The Rue de l'Université (French pronunciation: [ʁy d(ə) lynivɛʁsite]) is a street located in the 7th arrondissement of Paris, France. The official address of the Palais Bourbon, the seat of the National Assembly, is at 126 Rue de l'Université.

The Place du Palais-Bourbon is a historic square in the 7th arrondissement of Paris, France. It is named after the Palais Bourbon, the seat of the National Assembly of the French Parliament, located just north of the square.

The land was acquired by Louis Joseph, Prince of Condé in 1769. The Prince de Condé hired architect Jean-François Leroy to design the square. Its construction, which began in 1788, was completed in 1804. In the meantime, the Prince of Condé had fled due to the French Revolution. In 1855, a statue named La Loi designed by sculptor Jean-Jacques Feuchère was installed at the centre of the square.

The Quai d'Orsay (/ˌkeɪ dɔːrˈseɪ/ KAY dor-SAY, French: [ke dɔʁsɛ] ) is a quay in the 7th arrondissement of Paris. It is part of the left bank of the Seine opposite the Place de la Concorde. It becomes the Quai Anatole-France east of the Palais Bourbon, and the Quai Branly west of the Pont de l'Alma.

The seat of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (the Hôtel du ministre des Affaires étrangères) is located on the Quai d'Orsay, between the Esplanade des Invalides and the National Assembly at the Palais Bourbon; thus the ministry is often called the "Quai d'Orsay" in the press by metonymy. The building housing the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was built between 1844 and 1855 by Jacques Lacornée. The statues of the facade were created by the sculptor Henri de Triqueti (1870). The 1919 Treaty of Versailles was negotiated and written at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
