Today I want to comment on this palace, to facilitate the practice of modern art s my class comrades. .................................................. .................................................. ..................................................
To begin, we must comment that this palace now houses the French Senate. This building was built for Marie de Medicis, between the years 1615-1624 by the architect Salomon de Brosse . Apparently Mary was widowed a day after being crowned runs. To get away from the intrigues of the court who was then residing at present we find the Museum of Louvre, decides to seek alternative accommodation, more worthy to his position as ruler, and also reminded him of the Florentine palace of her childhood. Queen in 1612 managed to buy the home of a duke in the area, called François de Luxembourg . A Despite his attempts to call "Medici Palace", the palace was always known by the name of its former owner. The works begin in April 1615 and in 1624 with the architect Salomon de Brosse, who had to make reference to the Pitti Palace in Florence (the birthplace of Marie de Medicis). The Pitti Palace was formerly the principal residence of the Medici dynasty (see next photo). 
The entrance is located to the north and the main facade faces south and overlooking the Jardin du Luxembourg . For the realization of the gardens also had to buy and demolish other residences, and only after the death of Maria de Medici, to the late eighteenth century, the gardens reached a considerable size. The Jardin du Luxembourg is the most central and most popular park in Paris. It is neoclassical, with streets arranged symmetrically around the central octagonal pond. We know that the palace was extended several times, but does not change very much for your appearance. However, to accommodate the Senate in 1969, needed to build individual offices for each senator and several meeting rooms and administrative offices in addition to adapting to the taste of the twentieth century the basic amenities. On the other hand, both the palace and the gardens were the vicissitudes their owners, and were almost deserted on several occasions. The palace was converted into a prison at the outbreak of the French Revolution. During World War II, the Germans used it as barracks and built a bunker in the garden. Original garden is only a monument: the source of Maria Medici (see next photo).
