Place Beauvau

The Place Beauvau (English: Beauvau Square) is a public square in the 8th arrondissement of Paris, at the intersection of the Rue du Faubourg-Saint-Honoré, the Avenue de Marigny, the Rue des Saussaies and the Rue de Miromesnil.

It is located in the La Madeleine neighbourhood, next to the Élysée Palace.

In 1859, the Government of France purchased the building and installed the French governor-general of Algeria there.

However, Victor Fialin, the duke of Persigny, who was Minister of the Interior under Napoleon III, arranged for his ministry to be moved from the Rue de Grenelle, in the 7th arrondissement, to this location.

The buildings to the north of the square are devoted to various services of the ministry.
