The Elysee Palace, with an area of 11,000 square meters ,is at the easten end of the Champs Elysee in the bustling city of Pairs proper and backed by a large and tranquil garden of more than twenty thousand square meters.

There are altogether 369 halls and rooms of different size.
The Elysee Palace, built in 1718, has a long history of closing to 300 years to date. This house was at first a private residence of a count named d’Evreau, hence it was called Hotel d’Evreau. It had later gone through many vicissitudes and its owners had been changed for many times, but all the dwellers in it were distinguished personages and high officials. The house was renamed Bonaparte Mansion when it was owned by Louis 15 and Louis 16 successively when they acted as emperors. Napoleon 1 signed his act of abdication here when he had suffered crushing defeat in the Battle of Waterloo in 1815. Napoleon 3 moved in the Mansion in 1848 when he was elected president, and the house became a Royal Palace when he proclaimed himself as emperor. The Third French Republic issued a decree in 1873, designating officially the Elysee Palace as the residence of president of the French Republic. Over the hundred odd years since then, almost all the president of the French Republicworked and lived there. Starting from 1989, the Elysee Palace is open to the public every year in September on the French Castles Day. **** Hidden Message ***** 怎么这又这么冷清啊,现在连斑竹都不务正业了 大家都进来坐坐嘛 完全不懂
