Unlike Angelsaksen countries - I feel - Paris doesn't have as many house museums, and this one is really excellent. You have to like the style of course, but it's very well done

Visit the 20th century home of a wealthy Jewish Paris businessman with a grand passion for the art and culture of late 18th century France. Just far enough off the usual track to be relaxed and pleasant. Forget the crush of D'Orsay and The Louvre.

This gem gives a fascinating insight into the life and styles of earlier years --- if you were very wealthy. Rather intimate and a nice change from touring all the palaces.

This was one of the highlights of... More
