Charmont Palace, or simply Charmont, is the official residence of the Emperor of Vanivere and of the Vaniveran Imperial Family. Originally known as Charmont-Bonneau Castle and residence of the Bonneau family on their family estate, Charmont evolved from a large manor house into a grand palace fit for royalty. Over time, the Bonneau family sold the southern side of the River Aurore to settlers and workers in the household. This section of the estate became the city of Paris-Nouvelle. But as the city grew, the citizens of Paris-Nouvelle renamed the city Ville Charmont after the Bonneau family's home across the river.
