Gifted to Napoleon III by Marseilles, this area of land, set on the Maure promontory overlooking the Château d’If (famous for its prison) and the entrance to the Vieux-Port, enabled the emperor to fulfil his plans for a waterfront residence. Built by architects Lefuel and Vaucher between 1858 and 1870, Napoleon’s wife, empress Eugénie de Montijo, bequeathed the palace to the city in 1883. A 900-seater auditorium and several halls (in which official receptions, conferences and seminars are held) have been built beneath the garden. Art exhibitions occasionally take place here and are the ideal opportunity to take a look inside and enjoy the palace’s magnificent décor.
