Le palais du Pharo

It is Napoleon III, seduced by the panorama which we embrace from this cape, who asked that we build him here a residence "foot in the sea". Marseille, grateful to its emperor to whom it owes its new port, offers him the ground. The architect Lefuel, the creator of the Palace of the Louvre, draws this building with a simple architecture but respecting the status of the emperor.
