(Paper insolate).
The former palace of Salm-Kyrbourg was acquired in 1804, by order of Napoleon, for the Legion of Honor.
After a huge fire during the last days of the Commune, the palace was in ruins. The palace was rebuilt identically thanks to a public subscription launched among all the legionnaires and military medallists.
Jean-Paul Laurens was called upon to decorate the Salon des grands chanceliers, one of the most prestigious.
