Palais de la Concorde

The Palais de la Concorde is a large, cylindrical, fifteen-story building in Paris, United Earth, that serves as the seat of government for the United Federation of Planets. The Palais is located on the site of the former Place de Concorde and is elevated above the Champs Elysees

The first floor of the Palais features the chambers of the Federation Council, wherein the legislature meets for both full and sub-council sessions. The second and third floors feature the offices of each councillor, while the fifteenth floor features the office of the Federation President, as well as the Ra-ghoratreii Room and Wescott Room and a waiting room for the president's secretary. The fourth through fourteenth floors feature the offices of the council's and president's staff, with the chief of staff for the president having an office on floor fourteen. The president's office is heavilly shielded, as are the Council chambers, to prevent breaches in security such as abductions. There are two transporter bays in the Palais -- one on the first floor and one on the fifteenth floor.

The Palais also features three basement levels, all heavilly sheilded. The basement levels, especially the Monet Room, are where the president, the presidential staff, and the members of the Security Council and other authorized councillors meet to discuss issues of Federation defense and security and to organize Starfleet operations.
