The Napoleon III Apartments, in the Richelieu Wing, showcase the height of 19th-century French luxury during the Second Empire. Built between 1852 and 1870, these rooms were used for official state functions and reflect the opulent lifestyle of Napoleon III. The apartments include elaborate chandeliers, gilded moldings, and fine furnishings that illustrate the craftsmanship and wealth of that time. Visitors can explore the grand dining room, salons, and reception areas.
