Catherine de Medici

Posted on February 28, 2021 Updated on October 20, 2022

Catherine de Medidi was a Major Monarch in French history
Wife of a King, Mother to two more Kings, became Queen of France (when Henry II sustained a fatal injury in a jousting tournament) She brought the Italian Renaissance, Major Cuisine and even the “Fourchette” (fork) to France

Her Palais de Tuillerie was said to be the best part of the Louvre complex. Marie Annoinette lodged there when in Paris, the Napoleon (I) resided there, with the Mona Lisa in his bedroom (not at the Napoleon III apartments exhibited at the Louvre currently)

The Palais de Tuilleries were ransacked during the French Revolution, and sat deserted for many years before being sold for reclamation

The Palais des Tuileries, in search of a missing Palace

Our latest discovery discoery is the Paais de Tuilleries
We know the Tuilleries as the Gardens west of Le Louvre
But it was one of the main building in the Louvre Complex and many image and artifacts survive
