Place Parlement

The Place Parlement, also known as the Parlement of Paris, was a powerful judicial body in France from the 16th to the 18th century. It functioned as the highest court of appeals and had the authority to register royal laws before they could become official. It also played a political role, often acting as a defender of local privileges and resisting royal edicts it disagreed with. The Parlement was composed of magistrates and was based in Paris, serving as both a court and a political institution within the broader royal government.
