Background and detail

Background. The Chamber of Deputies was the lower house of the French Parliament during the Bourbon Restoration, created by the Charter of 1814. Members were elected by census suffrage. The Palais Bourbon served as the meeting place for this chamber. In 1827, the Chamber purchased the building from the House of Condé for 5,250,000 francs, having previously rented the space.

Election Results. Legislative elections were held in France on 17 and 24 November 1827. The Ultra-royalists, who were loyal to Charles X, lost the elections. This outcome shifted the political balance away from the king's most extreme supporters, though the specific loss of a majority is not explicitly detailed in the supplied passages.

Palais Bourbon Context. The Palais Bourbon is located in the 7th arrondissement of Paris on the Rive Gauche of the Seine. It became the meeting place for the lower legislative chamber. The Chamber of Deputies continued to rent the space until 1827, when it finally bought the building from the House of Condé. This purchase occurred in the same year as the elections.
