Bibliographical references: the current appearance of the Royal
Palace was established in 1781 when the
Duke of Chartres, cousin of Louis XVI, obtained the King's authorisation to subdivide around the garden. The architect Victor LOUIS, known for the construction of the Grand Théâtre de Bordeaux, was chosen. He designed 180 arcades separated by corynthian pilasters, illuminated by suspended streetlights. A mustard maker of the same model is included in the David WEILL collection
