The Galerie de Montpensier is a gallery in the Palais-Royal in the 1st arrondissement of Paris, France.

Description

[edit]

The Galerie de Montpensier is one of the galleries with arcades located inside the Palais-Royal. It runs along the western side of the Palais-Royal Garden. It starts at Montpensier Peristyle and ends at Joinville Peristyle.

A passageway starts from the gallery and ends at 24–25 Rue de Montpensier.

Name

[edit]

The name of the gallery derives from the proximity of the Rue de Montpensier, which was named after Antoine Philippe, Duke of Montpensier, the brother of King Louis Philippe I.

The gallery was originally named Galerie Montpensier. It was renamed Galerie des Combats in 1840, before it took its current name.
