Pavillon Sully

The Lescot facade was begun in the reign of Henri II, the other wings in the time of Louis XIII and XIV, but they were completed only by Napoleon. The Pavillon de l'Horloge (Clock Pavilion), better known as the Pavillon Sully, is designed to match the style of the Lescot facade; it was built in the 17th century by Jacques Lemercier, who also added the northern part of the west wing in a quasi-Renaissance style.
