Sometimes I think to myself that I want to get into politics, not because I like them, they suck,
But rather because there are so many beautiful buildings like this for various Parliaments/Congresses. So far I’ve seen France, Germany, UK, USA, Hungary and each one is awesome in the lost literal way.

The Luxembourg palace we see today was built by Marie de Medici, who descended from a long family of arts patrons whose powerbase lay in Firenze. She was queen of France as the wife of Henry IV, the first bourbon king, and mother of Louis XIII who created the French absolute monarchy that dominated the French society until the revolution.
The building itself was inspired by the primary Medici residence in Firenze, the Palazzo Pitti.
Most people know the palace through the park, which is and has historically been open to the public.
