Purchase of Palais Bourbon

When: 1827
Where: Palais Bourbon
Part of: French legislative elections of 1827 return an anti-ultraroyalist Chamber

The Chamber of Deputies purchased the Palais Bourbon from the House of Condé in 1827 for 5,250,000 francs.

Prior to 1827, the Chamber of Deputies rented the Palais Bourbon, which stands in Paris. In 1827, the Chamber finally bought the building from the House of Condé. The purchase took place in the same year as the legislative elections, though the passages do not state that the elections caused or altered the transaction.
