Paris - Galerie Nationale du Jeu de Paume

At the northeast corner of the Tuileries Gardens in Paris, to the left of the Place de la Concorde entrance, is the Jeu de Paume, originally a court for a game similar to tennis known as the jeu de paume (from paume, "palm", with which the ball was struck). The Jeu de Paume was built in 1851, under the Second Empire, but was considerably altered in 1931.

Until 1986 the Jeu de Paume housed the Louvre's world-famous collection of Impressionists, now displayed in the Musée d'Orsay.
