The President of the Republic's quarters.The Palais de l’Elysée, which now serves as the residence for the president of France, is a typical example of classical architecture: an entrance hall, three-sided courtyard with gardens, a double corps de logis, an appartement de parade with a grand salon which opens onto the garden in the middle.French people are already familiar with part of the palace that has appeared on television as part of news reports: heads of state are welcomed in the entrance hall, while the traditional July 14th reception is held in the gardens.Beyond the hall and the gardens, the Palais de l’Elysée has numerous magnificent rooms: the salons (Napoléon III, Murat, Pompadour…), the function room and even the winter garden.
