This large space adjoining the royal apartments first served as the palace’s second chapel (1672-1682), and then the Great Guard’s Room “for both the King and the Queen” (1682-1789). In 1833 it became a room devoted to the glory of Napoleon Bonaparte, First Consul and then Emperor of the French. The plan was to display the greatest paintings of his reign, which could not be placed anywhere else in the palace: the two immense paintings commissioned from Jacques-Louis David to commemorate the ceremonies celebrating Napoleon’s crowning as Emperor of the French: The Coronation of 2 December 1804 (1805-1808), and The Distribution of the Eagle Standards on 5 December 1804 (1808-1810). The decor that serves as a backdrop to these works was created thanks to the combined talents of palace architect, Frédéric Nepveu, sculptor Jean-Baptiste Plantar (trophies on the wood panelling), and the workshop of painter Jean Alaux (the ceiling arch).
The room’s Napoleonic programme included other works as well: on the ceiling, the Allegory of 18 Brumaire by Callet, also called France Saved, symbolizing Napoleon Bonaparte’s seizure of power.

Place du Peyrou in the old town of Sarlat-la-Canéda with the bishop’s residence in the background on a hot day, Dordogne, France
Some background information:
Sarlat-la-Canéda is a commune in the southwestern French department of Dordogne, located in the administrative region of Nouvelle-Aquitaine. Sarlat and La Canéda were distinct towns until they were merged into one commune in 1965. Sarlat-la-Canéda is situated 7 kilometres (4.3 miles) north of the Dordogne river in the historic region known as Périgord Noir. It has less than 9,000 residents, but welcomes more than one million visitors each year because of its beautiful well-preserved old town.
The settlement of Sarlat develoved around an abbey that was founded between 820 and 838 by Pepin I, Duke of Aquitaine. In the 13th century, Sarlat become broadly independent and in 1317, Pope John XXII designated the town as the seat of a bishopric. The abbey church became the cathedral Saint-Sacerdos and the monks the cathedral chapter.
In the 13th century and also at the beginning of the 14th century Sarlat thrived as a trading town, but the events of the Hundred Years' War ruined the commune. Although it was never captured by English troops, it still fell into English hands in 1360, because that was defined in the Treaty of Brétigny. When fights rekindled in 1370, Sarlat sided with the French King Charles V and hence, was involved in the French recapture of the Périgord region in 1404. However, the victory was dearly bought, because the bishopric lay in ruins afterwards.
Reconstruction was taken on with no hesitation and most of the houses that still form Sarlat’s townscape date from the interval between 1450 and 1500 and hence, are built in Early Renaissance style. At the beginning of the 16th century, the church Sainte-Marie was completed, whose construction had already begun in 1368. In 1553, a bishop's residence in Italian style was built next to the cathedral. Because of Sarlat’s wealthy upper class that had developed around the bishop, the judges and the clerks, a flamboyant cultural life evolved.
But in the 17th century, Sarlat paled into political insignificance and impoverished increasingly. The structure of the buildings began to derelict, the town’s ramparts were dismantled in large part and the moats were filled up. However, the town’s poverty also saved it from being modernized. In 1962, a monument preservation law was passed by the French government and between 1964 and 1974, the town of Sarlat-la-Canéda was restored comprehensively.
In 2002, Sarlat‘s historic centre, with 77 protected monuments, was added to France's Tentative List for future nomination as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It consists of impeccably restored stone buildings and is largely car-free. Today, numerous visitors, especially from northern Europe and the US, come on holiday to Sarlat and the region surrounding it. And some of them have even settled there permanently.
One reason for that development is also the cuisine of the Périgord Noir region. Foie gras is produced in several large factories and also by many small producers. Other farms raise geese and ducks to produce other delicacies such as confits and pâté. Furthermore, agricultural commodities include corn, hay, walnuts, walnut oil, cheeses, wine, cèpes (a species of wild mushroom) and of course also truffles. Hence, it is safe to say that the Périgord Noir region provides sustenance.
A film festival has been held in Sarlat-la-Canéda every November since 1991. Other annual events include the Truffle Festival, the Christmas Market and the Theatre Games Festival.
Kyle first met Amanda by being lured to her playing of Pachelbel's Canon. He entered her house and snuck up behind her to listen. Kyle then began to feel sadness and started crying. Amanda heard and noticed him. Startled, Kyle ran back to the Trager residence. Amanda and her mother, Carol, went to the Tragers that night. Carol explained to Nicole Trager that Kyle had entered their house uninvited. Kyle was there with Nicole, and he began to develop a crush on Amanda. Amanda clearly was not as upset as her mother and even bid Kyle farewell when they left.
A few nights later, Kyle calmed a stray dog by staring it in the eye. Amanda, looking out the window, was surprised. Amanda then explained to Kyle about "down time" and how his family would have to be searching for him.
Later, while driving home, Amanda was surprised to see Kyle jumping off the roof. This caused her to crash into some trash cans. Amanda asked Kyle if she should conceal the damage done to the car or admit to the damage. Kyle then told her to simply admit it. Amanda then told Kyle to wish her luck. Later, Carol was very upset to hear that the car was damaged. Kyle then arrived to defend Amanda, lying that he had caused the wreck. Carol scolded Kyle and told him that he was not allowed near her daughter or her property.
A few days later, Lori took Kyle and Josh to the swimming pool where Amanda was a lifeguard. While Lori, Josh and Hillary talked, Kyle dove into the pool but quickly drowned. Amanda dove in after him and saved him. While she began to pat him down, he got an erection. This was very embarrassing for Kyle. That night, Amanda arrived to the Tragers' house to see Kyle. She entered Kyle's room to see many pictures drawn of her. This scared her very much. As she exited, she bumped into Kyle who was holding one of Josh's pornographic magazines. She quickly hurried out of the house. The next day, Kyle and Lori showed up for swimming lessons with her. Kyle immediately learned how to swim extraordinarily well. They spoke about the pictures he drew of her and he explained he drew so many because something was missing. She invited him over the next day while her mom was out of the house. While he visited, she explained how her father died the previous year. She also told him that to make good art, he must be able to imagine things as well. The weekend before school began, she went to a party where she met up with Kyle. Before he could speak, Amanda's boyfriend, Charlie Tanner, showed up. He was introduced to Kyle.
As school began, Amanda sat at a lunch table with Charlie which hurt Kyle's feelings. That day, Amanda and Charlie visited Kyle in the school library. After Kyle shunned Charlie, Charlie confided to Amanda that he did not think Kyle liked him. Amanda dismissed this, but later returned to the library. She questioned Kyle if he likes her in a romantic way. Kyle lied and replied, "we're friends".
A week later, a huge rainstorm hit Seattle. Since Carol was out of the house and her power went out, Amanda went over to the Tragers' house. While she, Lori, Josh, Kyle and Declan waited for the power to turn on. Kyle used a Ouija board and finds a strange number, 781227. The weather began to clear up and they went outside. After Declan makes a rude comment about someone being dead, Kyle began to become afraid, telling everyone to return into the house. As they ran, a bolt of lightning hit a flower pot, shattering it. When the power turned on, Amanda and Kyle searched 781227 on the internet. The kids talked about how bad they would feel if they didn't have a past. Amanda returned to talk to Kyle about her father in his tub which she dubbed "Wallow Central." This made Kyle feel much better.
During the basketball season, Amanda was forced to go to the Beachwood basketball games to keep Charlie's stats. During the championship, she and Lori sat together.
At the Beachwood Carnival a few weeks later, Amanda and Charlie showed up. Amanda convinced Kyle to ride on the Merry-Go-Round but was unable to convince Charlie. While on the ride, Kyle suffered a seizure. Everyone hurried to the hospital and Amanda told Lori to tell Kyle she's thinking about him.
The next weekend was Amanda's confirmation. As Amanda attempted to speak to Kyle outside the church, she was pulled away by her mother. The next day, Amanda visited Kyle and told him that he should find a saint. This prompted Kyle to go to church. The following day, at Kyle's going away party, she bid Kyle farewell.

“Like all fundamentalists who get their clammy hands on the levers of political power, the market fanatics are going to kill off every humane, life-enhancing, generous, imaginative and decent corner of our public life.”

In 2011 a developer bought this 1967 building with the plan to demolish it and replace it with a new building. The public outcry convinced the developer to instead renovate the current building. The expanded building reopened as a Starbucks and Chipotle in 2012.
This Midtown St. Louis building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
