Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Plan of the Palais-Royal in 1754. The portion of the palace shown in the upper right in the plan (labelled with the letter "M") was designed by Pierre Contant d'Ivry and built in the early 1750s for Louis-Philippe the Fat, Duke of Orléans. The eastern part of the Basse Cour is now the Place de Valois, and the east-facing avant corps on the west side of the Basse Cour and the adjacent portions of its wing are directly across from it on the west side of the rue de Valois (see 2010 photo). The plan also shows the former theatre of the Académie royale de Music (the first Salle du Palais-Royal, labelled with the letter "O"), which is south of the wing with the avant corps and east of the Cour d'entrée (later to become the Cour de l'Horlogue). The theatre and nearby sections of the Palais-Royal were destroyed by fire on 6 April 1763 (see an engraving of the fire), and this resulted in the redesign and reconstruction of the principal sections of the palace.
