Always Guests for Lunch. For four years the President has worked and lived behind the pacing Gardes Républicaines in the Elysée Palace on the Rue du Faubourg Saint Honoré, which has housed Bourbons, Bonapartes and 14 Presidents of the Third Republic before him. It takes 200 people to make the presidential beds, cook the meals, keep the salons and gardens in good condition, run the private telegraph office, turn out an honor guard on the arrival of a foreign dignitary...
