"starting with napoléon i, the palais des tuilerlies was the official residence of the french leader. In 1871, however, it was destroyed in a fire set by the communards. The fire completely gutted the building, but the walls remained standing until 1884. Fragments of the palace may be seen at the école des beaux-arts and the école des ponts et chaussées. As was typical of the period, elaborate gardens provided private walking space for the residents of the palace. André lenôtre designed the current layout of the gardens. ".
