Can the Tuilerie building still be seen in Paris today?
== == Alas, no. The palais des Tuileries was one of the earliest parts of the Louvre to be built; it was the Royal residence when the King was brought back to Paris during the Revolution; it was napoleon's residence during the Empire, and used also by the restored Bourbons until 1830, the Orleanist monarchy until 1848, and by Napoleon III until 1870. Alas, in the disturbances of the Commune after the fall of the Second Empire and the Siege of Paris in 1870, the Palais des Tuileries was burned down.
