Palais Cambon stands in Paris as the headquarters of France’s Court of Audit, within a building shaped by public administration. Construction began in 1898, under the direction of architect Constant Moyaux. Paul Guadet later oversaw the project, which reached completion in 1912. Five floors of different heights surround a square courtyard. The site once held an old convent, an Assumption School, and barracks before the present building rose there. Its original plan assigned general services to the ground floor and senior offices to the first. The second floor held the Grand Chamber and deliberation rooms, while referendary counsellors and auditors occupied the higher levels. Elevators, telephones, radiators, and a central electric clock marked its modern facilities. The Chicago Tower began as the archive building and became offices in 2009. Palais Cambon also houses the Court of Budgetary and Financial Discipline. Since 1993, its facades, roofs, decorated first-floor rooms, and grand staircase have held historical monument protection. The staircase features a wrought-iron railing, while the building presents neoclassical architecture. The building is reachable from several metro stations, including Madeleine, Concorde, and Tuileries.
