Why locals recommend it
Hidden between La Comédie-Française and the Ministry of Culture, this former palace is linked to many historical events in France. Filmwise, it’s best known for Stanley Donen’s Charade, in which Cary Grant chases Audrey Hepburn. She hides at the theater at the end of the alley. Try to see a show inside the beautiful theater where Hepburn hid. Or, at the very least, be sure to admire the building’s facade along rue de Montpensier. Dating back to the 19th century, the lanterns and staircases are a must-see.

Tips from locals
At the heart of Paris, a few steps from the Louvre Museum and hidden in the middle of government and cultural buildings (Constitutional Council, Ministry of Culture and Communication, Comédie-Française, Theatre du Palais Royal …), is the sumptuous Jardin du Palais Royal. A haven of peace that has been for four centuries a place of power and pleasures.
