The Palais-Royal is a former French royal palace located on Rue Saint-Honoré in the 1st arrondissement of Paris. The screened entrance court faces the Place du Palais-Royal, opposite the Louvre. Originally called the Palais-Cardinal, it was built for Cardinal Richelieu from about 1633 to 1639 by architect Jacques Lemercier. Richelieu bequeathed it to Louis XIII, before Louis XIV gave it to his younger brother, Philippe I, Duke of Orléans. As the succeeding Dukes of Orléans made such extensive alterations over the years, almost nothing remains of Lemercier's original design.
The Palais-Royal is now the seat of the Ministry of Culture, the Conseil d'État and the Constitutional Council. The central Palais-Royal Garden (Jardin du Palais-Royal) serves as a public park; its arcade houses shops.

Le pont de la Caille est le dernier pont suspendu d’Europe de grande taille. Il surprend ses visiteurs par son architecture hors norme. Cet ouvrage, qui est la propriété du Conseil Départemental de la Haute-Savoie, est inscrit au titre des Monuments Historiques depuis 1966. Il surplombe la rivière des Usses à plus de 145 mètres de haut. La vue est donc magnifique sur les gorges, même si le vertige peut être de la partie.

The architectural details of Dallas' Pegasus Villas, which was once Brookhollow Plaza, are a testament to the city's rich design heritage. This landmark showcases the visionary work of architect Paul Rudolph, featuring a 16-story structure that was originally built in the late 1960s. The building stands out with its precast concrete beams and columns, and its history as a re-purposed office building turned into a senior living community adds to its unique character.
