The Elysée: the secrets of a palace
The Elysée Palace is the monument that best embodies power in France. Now the residence of the presidents of the Republic, it has seen the greatest figures of power of the last three centuries pass through its walls. How did this 365-room, 11,000 m² building become the cornerstone of our institutions? Who shaped it and made it the most important and secret place in France? How does it adapt to the requirements of its powerful “tenants”? Underground galleries, secret passages, PC Jupiter… This documentary looks back at the creation and transformations of this megastructure of power.
