As President of the Senate, I am particularly pleased to announce that this year’s events will thus honour the Senate and the Parliament at large. Visitors from France and from the whole world, including future citizens, will have access to those symbols of heritage and democracy that are the Luxembourg Palace and the Petit Luxembourg. For GÉRARD LARCHER, the second year in a row, digital innovation will be at the heart of PRESIDENT OF THE SENATE the proposed tour. Past, present and future will merge during these two highly popular days. On behalf of all my senator colleagues, I invite you to discover the estate chosen by Marie de Medicis in the early 17th century for her royal residence. The layout of the Luxembourg Palace, now home of the Senate, was modifi ed several times to adapt to the evolution of French institutions and suit the needs of a modern parliamentary assembly, all the while respecting the exceptional architectural details which make up the splendour of this emblem of our heritage. This tour will take you through the history of France and its legislative process. Here, 348 men and women senators represent every territory of the French Republic as well as the French population living abroad. Elected for a period of six years, senators are responsible for designing and voting the laws of the Republic, controlling the government’s actions and assessing public policies. The Senate ensures the stability of French institutions and refl ects on important topics and issues at stake in society. The Senate’s latest news and activities can be followed on its website and on social media. Please also take this opportunity to visit the Luxembourg Garden, managed by the Senate, and discover the exhibition devoted to its orange trees, fruit orchards and fl oral ornaments held in the orangery. If you happen to walk all the way to the Observatory, make sure you visit the greenhouses which will exceptionally be open to the public on that occasion. From 17th September 2016 to 15th January 2017, the railings of the Luxembourg Garden will showcase a photographic exhibition entitled “Le Patrimoine, une passion, des hommes” (“Heritage, a history of passion and men”) for the 20 years of the Fondation du Patrimoine, an organisation largely created thanks to the Senate’s involvement. These photos of art and craft and territories will illustrate the efforts deployed in terms of economic development and conservation of France’s unprotected heritage. Do not hesitate to ask as many questions as you wish to the men and women who will welcome you on these European Heritage Days. They will satisfy your curiosity about the Palace’s history and the inner workings of this parliamentary assembly. I wish you an excellent tour of the Senate and pleasant Heritage Days.

    Le Palais du Luxembourg sous les deux Empires Direction de la Bibliothèque et des Archives Division des Archives Décembre 2019 Couverture : Auguste COUDER, Installation du Conseil d'État au palais du Petit-Luxembourg, le 25 décembre 1799 , huile sur toile, 1856. Photo © RMN-Grand Palais (Château de Versailles) / Hervé Lewandowski. Le peintre figure les trois consuls recevant, dans un des salons de Boffrand du Petit-Luxembourg, les serments des présidents de section du Conseil d’État. On peut apercevoir, par la fenêtre de gauche, l’aile Ouest du palais, et par la fenêtre de droite, la chartreuse. Ce dossier a été réalisé par Xavier LACROIX, qui prépare une thèse d’Histoire à Sorbonne Université sous la direction d’Éric ANCEAU. Stagiaire à la division des Archives du Sénat, il a rédigé cette brochure avec le concours de celle-ci. 2 Une visite du palais du Luxembourg sous les Napoléonides De l’envol à la chute de l’Aigle, le Palais du Luxembourg est lié au destin de Napoléon. Foyer, au seuil de l’année 1800, de la conjuration qui permit au général Bonaparte de clore la Révolution, le Luxembourg fut aussi son logis – et celui de Joséphine – durant les premiers mois du Consulat. On y rédigea, de surcroît, la Constitution de l’an VIII. Indissociablement lié à la geste napoléonienne, le Luxembourg subit profondément l’empreinte politique et réformatrice d’un régime dont il accueillit le Sénat, première chambre haute de l’histoire de France. À cette occasion, il fut restauré et adapté à la fonction de palais législatif, doté d’un nouvel et magistral escalier ainsi que d’un premier hémicycle.

  • American History Tour in Paris, France (This Is a Proposed And/Or Sample Tour)
    American History Tour in Paris, France (This is a proposed and/or sample tour) Discover American History in Paris by Mary Jo Once you have been on this tour, you will forever have a deeper emotion on each 4th of July as Americans celebrate our historic declaration of independence from England and the results of the American Revolution. You will have a deeper affection for Paris, one of the most beautiful cities in the world, because of the direct links between that city and our revolution. In addition, you will see the places where Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, John Paul Jones and others lived and established themselves in both French and American history. While living in Paris, I learned much about the historic connections between France and the United States, especially in relation to the American Revolution. I discovered numerous plaques, statues, squares, streets, and churches all over Paris that refer to these historic connections. I was given a book by a friend that provides much information about these places and these connections. Now I am passionate that more Americans know where these places are, what the signs and plaques say (most of them are written in French), and why they are there. Come explore with me American History in Paris. You will see Paris in a different way – through the lens of American history. A Flexible Itinerary I have planned an itinerary that allows a good deal of free time so that you can fall in love with Paris in your own way. In addition, we will be a small group, no more than 12.
