	From 1780 onward, the Palais-Royal was under the stewardship of [[Louis Philippe II, Duke of Orléans]], the cousin of King [[Louis XVI of France\|Louis XVI]].

	This proved to be a success, with the complex becoming one of the capital's most popular gathering places, known for its theatres, cafes, gambling dens, and prostitution. However, the extensive amount of illegal activity at the palace provided the [[Templars]] with a cover for a smuggling operation; the [[French Assassins\|Parisian Brotherhood]] subsequently sent agents to recover the stolen treasures.
