Some buildings in Paris illustrate multiple layers of French history. This entrance was once part of the Château d’Anet, built in 1548–50 in northern France by King Henri II for his mistress. This section of the facade was rescued from a campaign during the French Revolution to destroy symbols of the former monarchy. It was moved to Paris to a repository of cultural artifacts and later incorporated into a renovation and expansion of the buildings housing the national school for fine arts, the Beaux-Arts de Paris, where it remains to this day.
