Description[]
Located at the northwestern end of the Jardin des Tuileries, the Jeu de Paume is a neoclassical building built in 1861 at the request of Napoleon III to house tennis courts.
Based on the plans of the Musée de l'Orangerie, of which it is the counterpart, the Jeu de Paume is a building 80 meters long, 13 meters wide and with a surface area of 2,754.50 m2. On the Place de la Concorde side, the entrance consists of a rectangular door with a rounded top surrounded by two columns supporting a decorated triangular pediment.
The sides consist of a two-story portico closed by bay windows on the south side and walls on the north side. Its roof is a hipped slate roof and has a few windows.

Trivia[]
- Despite its evocative name, this place has nothing to do with the place where the Serment du Jeu de Paume took place, the decisive prequel moment of the French Revolution of 1789.
- The Salle du Jeu de Paume in question is located in Versailles (78).
- Since its construction, the Jeu de Paume has had several uses:
- Tennis courts from 1861 to 1909.
- Exhibition space for works belonging to the Louvre Museum and the Musée de l'Orangerie from 1909 to 1922.
- Exhibition space for contemporary works from foreign schools from 1922 to 1940.
- During the Second World War and until the liberation of Paris in August 1944, the Jeu de Paume was requisitioned by the Nazis to house works of art stolen from Jews and other deportees.
- From 1947 to 1986, the Jeu de Paume exhibited paintings by the Impressionists.
- From 1991 to 2004, it became the Jeu de Paume national gallery dedicated to modern and contemporary art in all its forms.
- Since 2004, the Jeu de Paume has been an exhibition space for contemporary photography and video.
- The appearance of the Jeu de Paume differs slightly in the series compared to reality. In the series, it is a perfect copy of the Musée de l'Orangerie, while in reality there are several, especially with regard to the bay windows and the type of entrances.
