The Palais de l'Alma (French pronunciation: [palɛ d(ə) lalma]; English: Palace of the Alma) is a national palace of the French Republic in Paris's 7th arrondissement.
It is located just east of the Musée du Quai Branly, almost in front of the Pont de l'Alma.
[1] The palace was built between 1861 and 1864 by Jacques-Martin Tétaz in the objective to become stables for Napoleon III, as well as house their personnel.
François Mitterrand used an apartment to house his mistress Anne Pingeot and their daughter Mazarine when he was president.
[3] Alexandre Benalla, who served as a security officer and deputy chief of staff to President Emmanuel Macron, was housed there from 9 July 2018, one week before being taken into custody for the judicial and political case which took his name.
