As it stood in 1832
What Palais Bourbon looked like in its prime.
A broad Neoclassical riverfront façade of pale limestone ashlar: a high podium reached by a wide shallow flight of steps, a twelve‑column Corinthian peristyle under a deep entablature, and a triangular sculpted pediment crowning the centre with the French tricolour on the apex. The stone steps are flanked by monumental standing statues on plinths and side bas‑reliefs; a low iron railing and bollards line the quay. Behind the colonnade the original 18th‑century block rises, roofs hidden by a balustrade.
