Tuileries Palace

The Tuileries Palace was a royal palace in Paris which stood on the right bank of the River Seine. The palace served as the residence for French monarchs, from to Napoleon, until it was burned by the Paris Commune in 1871. The original palace was built by Catherine de' Medici, who found the Louvre too big to serve as the royal palace. Tuileries was later united with the Louvre by Henry IV.

On 10 August 1792, at the height of the French Revolution, the palace was stormed by the Parisian mob and King Louis XVI and his family was forced to flee and take shelter in the National Assembly. During the ransacking of the palace, the Assassin Arno Dorian infiltrated to palace to retrieve the King's correspondonce with the Comte de Mirabeau, the Assassin Mentor, on behalf of the Assassin Council. Napoleon Bonaparte, a captain in the French Army, also searched for the King's secret chamber in the palace, to find an Apple of Eden, and the two joined forces to make their escape from the revolutionaries.
