(Last Update: 11.09.2024) There are many magnificent buildings in Paris that we do not turn our heads to see even though they are in public, and even if we do, we cannot imagine what is inside. Most of these buildings are important institutions that shape not only their architectural and historical value, but also world history and therefore our lives. When Paris becomes the capital of France, many government institutions take their place within the fabric of the city and, as a general characteristic of Paris, they sometimes show themselves and sometimes hide in between, even though they are publicly visible. In this article, we will get to know one of such structures, the Conseil d'Etat, that is, the Council of State.
In the heart of Paris, 1. boroughConseil d'Etat (located incouncil detail) that is, the Council of State, Louvre MuseumIt is located right opposite but M1 or M7 metro When we got off the lines at the Palais Royal – Musée du Louvre station and emerged into the light, not all of us were here – naturally – Louvre MuseumWe focus on . However, when we turn our face to the Louvre, the building right behind us is Conseil d'Etat – Council of State is happening. Even though we see the writing on the main entrance, most of us do not know what is inside.
I have written in detail before Palais Royal The Conseil d'Etat, located within the complex, houses the halls of the Palais Royal. Ministère de la Culture – Ministry of Culture ve Conseil Constitutionnel – Constitutional CouncilIn other words, three important government institutions are located within the Palais Royal. The one that covers the largest section is the Council of State, which is the subject of today's article.
Palais Royal I tried to share detailed information about the building and outdoor photos in the article, but I had to wait until today for interior photos, because this is not a place normally open to visitors. Since I do not prefer to use photos that do not belong to me on the blog, I waited for the day when I could find an opportunity and visit the inside of the Palais Royal, and this opportunity came. Cultural Heritage Days – Journées du Patrimoine effectiveness September 2016I received it the year it was held in .
As I underlined to you, many government institutions and important buildings Cultural Heritage Days – Journées du Patrimoine It can be visited within its scope and this is an opportunity that you may come across once a year. I also took that opportunity Palais Royal I visited the state institutions within it and photographed them for you, and I was lucky enough to have the articles published today. I mean, it may not be possible for everyone to visit these magnificent halls, but at least those who see the Palais Royal from the outside will now be able to know and learn what kind of beauties are hidden inside, with the help of this article. Louvre MuseumThey will now know more the value of this structure, which is overlooked in the face of its magnificence. Those who come across the Cultural Heritage Days – Journées du Patrimoine event are extra lucky…
My intention is not to sit down and provide detailed information about the Council of State and create an encyclopedic resource. In summary The Council of State, just like in Turkey, is an important government institution that makes recommendations to the government and that the government must refer to in laws prepared for this purpose.. In the same time serves as the highest court in the administrative field. All important decisions are taken in these halls, and decisions are made on very important administrative issues.
The results of all these first determine the course of life in France, and then France, one of the important powers of the world, indirectly (perhaps directly) affects the flow of life globally. With this feeling, you are not only impressed by what you see while wandering through the beautiful halls, but in a sense, you also witness how your life is shaped beyond what you see.
The travel itinerary may be different every year, but we plan our trip before Palais Royal'of Ministère de la Culture – Ministry of Culture We started from the section and from there we moved on to the Council of State section. The first hall we entered Salle de la Section des Financeswas. From here, we had the pleasure of wandering through the Council of State, the largest part of the Palais Royal, by going room by room, hall by hall, corridor by corridor.
As much as seeing the study room of the president of the Council of State Grand Escalier d'Honneur Seeing impressive stairs like these makes you feel what kind of palace you are walking around in. Especially the one you see in the photo above. general assembly hall It's also quite striking. Here you feel the power of the law and the state in your bones.
Erstwhile Cardinal RichelieuInside this palace, which was the home of , was transferred to the royal family after the cardinal's death, and therefore took the name Palais Royal, you then reach the small hall next door and then the library whose photo you see above, and as in all state institutions, you understand the importance of the library and its place in life. In the hall you pass later and which I used as the cover photo, the magnificence appears before you once again. The most surprising thing is the small chapel located right next to this hall, the photo of which you see below.
And the one on the side, the photo of which you see below. Salle de Napoleon It takes you to a completely different world. The wall and ceiling decorations are a different world, the desks and computers lined up in rows are another world. At this point where the past and the future meet, you understand today's France better. We come and go from here, but people work here, in a sense, they write history...

Therefore, this is how I finish telling this part of the Palais Royal. I look at my surroundings with admiration and become engrossed in the history, past and future of France. Maybe I'm watching my own life, who knows?
