Palais Bourbon (Corps législatif)

The Palais Bourbon is a palace on the Left Bank of the Seine in Paris, France, facing the Place de la Concorde across the river. Originally built in the first half of the eighteenth century for Louise Françoise de Bourbon, a daughter of Louis XIV, it later passed into state ownership and was given its monumental columned façade in the Napoleonic era.

Since the French Revolution the building has served as the meeting place of the lower house of the French legislature, known at various times as the Corps législatif and today as the National Assembly. In the context of Vermeer scholarship it is recorded as a venue where works were displayed rather than as a permanent art museum.
