The French National Assembly or Palais Bourbon ironically bears the surname of the Kings of France deposed by the French Republican revolutionaries.The Palais Bourbon and the Hôtel de Lassay (current residence of the President of the Assembly) were built between 1726 and 1730. History will recall that this Palace was built for the illegitimate son of Madame de Montespan and Louis XIV.The Hôtel de Lassay was occupied by the lover of the Duchess of Bourbon, the Marquis de Lassay. Confiscated like most of the Palaces during the Revolution, the Palais Bourbon served the Council of Five Hundred in 1795.In 1827, the Restoration bought the Palace from the Condé family to house the legislative body there from then on.
