Built in 1625 by Salomon de Brosse for Queen Marie de' Medici, the Palais du Luxembourg was the residence of the Royal Family before it was converted into a prison during the French Revolution. In 1800 Napoleon Bonaparte employed Chalgrin to transform the palace and the first senators took office in 1804.
