Louvre

Now a large museum, the Louvre was initially a royal Palace. 

Louis XIV decided to move the French kings residence to Versailles, and it was subsequently used for the french administration and then as a museum. 

It is actually the largest museum in France and most visited site in Paris after Notre Dame.
