Luxembourg Palace - Luxembourg Palace

Japanese: リュクサンブール宮殿 - リュクサンブールきゅうでん
Luxembourg Palace - Luxembourg Palace
This palace is located in the 6th arrondissement of Paris, the capital of France, on the left bank of the Seine, north of the Luxembourg Gardens. It was originally the residence of the Duke of Luxembourg, but was remodeled to serve as a residence for Marie de Medici (1573-1642), the wife of King Henry IV who had married into the French royal family from Italy and the mother of King Louis XIII. It is said to be modeled after the Pitti Palace, the residence of the Medici family in Florence, where Marie de Medici spent her childhood. This castle was also the historical stage where Napoléon Bonaparte (1769-1821), who later became the Emperor of France, seized power. The palace is currently the seat of the Senate of the French National Assembly.

Japanese:
フランスの首都パリの6区、セーヌ川左岸のリュクサンブール公園の北側にある宮殿。もともと、リュクサンブール公爵邸だった建物を改築して、イタリアからフランス王室に嫁いできたアンリ4世の王妃で、ルイ13世の母親のマリー・ド・メディシス(Marie de Médicis、1573~1642年)の居城として改築したものである。マリー・ド・メディシスが幼いころ過ごしたフィレンツェのメディチ家の居城、ピッティ宮殿をモチーフとしているといわれる。また、この城は、後にフランス皇帝となるナポレオン・ボナパルト(Napoléon Bonaparte、1769~1821年)が権力を掌握した歴史的な舞台ともなった。この宮殿は、現在、フランス国会の上院(元老院)の議場となっている。
