Building History
In 1661 , in his will and his great fortune, Cardinal Mazarin calls the foundation under Louis XIV , a college to receive sixty gentlemen nations gathered at the Royal obedience by the Treaty of Westphalia ( 1648 ) and the Treaty of Pyrenees ( 1659 ) (hence the name College of Four Nations , which are the Artois , the Alsace , Pinerolo and Roussillon , with Cerdanya ).
Colbert burden Louis Le Vau to draw up plans for the college facing the courtyard of the Louvre across the Seine.
Construction was carried out between 1662 and 1688.
In 1796 , the building hosts one of the three central schools in Paris Institution The Republic had abolished the royal academies, the Constitution of Year III (Article 298) established in 1795 : "There are whole Republic a national institute responsible for collecting the discoveries, develop the arts and sciences." The Law on Organization of Public Instruction of 3 Brumaire Year IV (October 25, 1795) is organizing a "National Institute of Sciences and Arts" to "perfect the arts and sciences by research uninterrupted, through publication of findings by correspondence with learned societies and overseas, follow the scientific and literary works that will be the general utility and glory of the Republic. "Another law, on 15 Germinal Year IV (4 April 1796 ) specifies the Regulation of the new institution, including details of its activities (work sessions, public meetings, awards). The Institute of France was then divided into three classes: However the class of moral and political sciences appeared to lack loyalty to the regime of Consulate. The order of the consuls of 24 January 1803 (3 Brumaire an XI ) suppresses the class of moral and political sciences and the third class divides into three. The four classes are now: In 1816 , Louis XVIII , through its Minister of Interior the Earl of Vaublanc , reorganized the Institute by its order of March 21 , reorganization that also serves as a pretext to exclude certain members. The name "Academy" is again used to designate different classes: the titles of "French Academy", an "Academy of Inscriptions and Belles-lettres" and "Academy of Science" are restored, while the fourth class takes the name "Academy of Fine Arts." Restoring, by order of October 26, 1832 , the "Academy of Moral and Political Sciences, Louis-Philippe gave the Institute its present configuration.
