The '''Paris Bourse''' ({{lang-fr|Bourse de Paris}}) is the historical [[Paris]] [[stock exchange]], known as [[Euronext Paris]] from 2000 onwards. The building, known as the '''Palais Brongniart''', is located in the Place de la Bourse, in the [[2nd arrondissement of Paris|II arrondissement]], [[Paris]].

==Architecture==
In the early 19th century, the Paris Bourse's activities found a stable location at the '''''Palais Brongniart''''', or '''''Palais de la Bourse''''', built to the designs of architect [[Alexandre-Théodore Brongniart]] from 1808 to 1813 and completed by [[Éloi Labarre]] from 1813 to 1826.<ref name=Ayers>Ayers 2004, pp. 61–62.</ref>

Brongniart had spontaneously submitted his project, which was a rectangular [[Empire style|neoclassical]] Roman temple with a giant [[Corinthian order|Corinthian]] [[colonnade]] enclosing a [[Vault (architecture)|vaulted]] and [[Arcade (architecture)|arcaded]] central chamber. His designs were greatly admired by [[Napoleon]] and won Brongniart a major public commission at the end of his career. Initially praised, the building was later attacked for academic dullness. The authorities had required Brongniart to modify his designs, and after Brongniart's death in 1813, Labarre altered them even further, greatly weakening Brongniart's original intentions. From 1901 to 1905 Jean-Baptiste-Frederic Cavel designed the addition of two lateral wings, resulting in a cruciform plan with innumerable columns. According to the architectural historian Andrew Ayers, these alterations "did nothing to improve the reputation of this uninspiring monument."<ref name=Ayers/>
