Elysée Palace, the Incredible Residence of the French Presidents | SLICE EXPERTS | FULL DOC

[@mohammedsaysrashid3587]

Extremely wonderful introduction and thrilled watching documentary about that most powerful French central palace ( heart of French republic power ) ...in Paris.....thanks for sharing

[@Diegomax22]

D’où viens la passion de Slice pour la France ? Je suis étonné de voir une chaîne anglophone parler autant de notre beau pays.

[@SLICE_Experts]

Comme vous pourrez le voir dans notre section Communauté sur la page de la chaine, Slice est le travail d'une société parisienne 🇫🇷 : ZED. Les documentaires que nous publions sont pour la plupart des productions françaises 😉

[@Diegomax22]

@@SLICE_Experts Merci pour votre réponse, je comprends mieux alors !

[@earlofcruisegw1727]

Parce qu'il a traduit le docu d'ARTE en anglais et qu'il montre malheureusement peu de respect pour la langue.

[@cynthiaalver]

I am loving your videos! I am learning so much and I very much enjoy the tours through these wonderful historic buildings. Thank you!

[@djjamestobin]

This is a great doco .. but whoever curated the music for it seriously needs to take a valium. Stressful.

[@thegreencouchshow4029]

Not really matching the glamour of the palace 😀

[@francef4148]

J’ai visité il y a peu de temps le Palais de l’Elysée, en mars 2024. Les meubles anciens ont été retirés, remplacés par des meubles et sièges contemporains, les tapis et tapisseries aussi. L’ensemble est très coloré mais les salons ressemblent maintenant à des salles d’attente. Seul le bureau du général De Gaulle reste, contre un mur dans un grand salon. Réellement, la grande salle de réception est plus lumineuse qu’auparavant avec une moquette grise

[@Ameroff1982]

In the 18th century it was known as the Hotel d' Evreux. At one point it was owned by Madame de Pompadour, Louis XV's mistress.

[@onefeather2]

Annoying and loud background music. too loud to watch.

[@gingerdean1521]

i agree

[@Zobeida-ep2ku]

I totally agree!!

[@Consrignrant]

What a load of nonsense. Searching for something to bitch about?

[@evelynenerveat2077]

What an excellent visit and thorough explanation of the various transformations. .

[@DavidPerrinbeanphotographed]

Just tell us the facts. The music and commentary are seriously OTT

[@lilaclai6560]

Very informative, thank you very much! But very horrifying background music too....

[@raayshreekaulesarsukul5615]

Well done!👏👏👏

[@larrykinglk]

Hello Slice, quite impressive documentary! Who sponsored it? Sorry for the brusque questions, but why are there no credits at all ? I believe people made that and deserve some kind of recognition? I also wish to ask you about a strangeness: at 27:49 and 47:36, you show an aerial view of Place Victor Hugo. which is located more than 2km west of the Élysée Palace, and, to my knowledge has no direct link with the subject. Is there a reason for that, other than a simple error?

[@micade2518]

Excellent documentary. Bravo!!!

[@picardiebelleregion9508]

Je n'aime pas le palais de l'Elysée, c'est étriqué avec ce portail sur une modeste rue, ses jardins sont cachés derrière des hautes grilles. Pour la gouvernance française, il eût fallu les Invalides avec sa grande Cour d'Honneur et son esplanade ou reconstruire le Palais de Tuileries qui s'ouvre sur les jardins de l'Orangerie et la Concorde.

[@radikowalski1553]

Been there and gone inside too, well on a tour.

[@sallyannesmith3607]

I stayed in a pretty little hotel not far from this palace.

[@mountbatten2222]

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THIS IMPRESSING DOCU ! I DON´T AGREE WITH THE´ MODERN´ FURNITURE IN THE PALACE TODAY !

[@JeremyHooper-p1w]

Me either. All the history France has, they gonna mess it up with modern contemporary design!?😢😢

[@enlilw-l2]

​@@JeremyHooper-p1wit was already the case in the 70's with president Pompidou

[@christinelachance8012]

That was President George Pompidou’s doing, he and his wife Claude were crazy about super modern furniture and art. Not to my taste either…

[@ChristianDominicWindsor]

@@christinelachance8012 YES; IT LOOKS VERY MUCH LIKE SEVENTIES ! BUT I SUSPECTED THE CURRENT ´MADAME´ DE LA ELYSEE WITH HER TASTE FOR THIS PERIOD FOR THIS TASTLESSNESS ?!

[@francinesicard464]

Me neither. If I'm not mistaken, it's an heritage from President Georges Pompidou and his wife who were fans of contemporary art. Fortunately, to my knowledge, only few rooms were "spoiled".

[@joeson7700]

Great PALACE , possibly with Stay & hold near to year 5000 + .

[@JWRogersPS]

This didn't explain why the entrance hall is glass fronted, and when this was done.

[@CitronCassis]

The access to the main courtyard has huge glass doors, wanted by Michelle Auriol, wife of President Auriol ~1947 (in the past, there was a glass roof ~ verrière instead). Without the glass doors , it would be a permanent wind inside I think

[@debhurd8898]

The music is ridiculous and completely unnecessary. It's annoying. Also, bellicose walls?

[@firstnamelastname9631]

It seems the story telling ended up with de Gaulle. It was far too long, could have been done better in 40 minutes.

Stupid music!!!

[@jennykim5247]

What’s up with those carpets and rugs? Is it me or are they off?

[@michaeldelgiudice1057]

terrible music, if you can call it that.

[@earlofcruisegw1727]

The documentary was produced by ARTE.

[@SLICE_Experts]

Hello, production and realisation is indicated in the description. It is the Famiglia production for the French television channel RMC découverte.

[@earlofcruisegw1727]

@@SLICE_Experts Okay, overread. But the video apears to be or looks like a SLICE production. La Famiglia for RMC Découverte should have been mentioned in the beginning and at the end with the credits ...

Africa ? They were living in mud huts while we were building Notre Dame de Paris in 1163. Nobody in Europe ever heard of african people back then. That's how important you were (are). Truth is, our specie is capable of doing things that yours just can't... and you hate everyone for it, and you'd still live in mud huts if it wasn't for Europeans building roads and infrastructures and buildings.
