Welcome to The Tuileries! The Tuileries is a famous royal palace, which stood on the right bank of the River Seine in Paris. During the French Revolution, mobs forced Louis XVI and his family to live there instead of at Versailles. In 1792, the mobs killed Swiss Guards who tried to defend the royal family at the Tuileries. For the time, the Convention of the Revolution held its sessions in the Tuileries. Napoleon made it his home, and it served as the royal residence after the Restoration. Catherine de Medici began the building of the palace in 1564, but it was not completed until the 1600’s. It formed a long narrow band of buildings with high roofs and dormer windows. At one end it joined the Louvre. The famous Tuileries Gardens covered seventy-five acres on the west side of the palace grounds. Supporters of the commune destroyed most of the palace in 1871, but the garden is still popular.
