Visit 63 rue de Monceau



Wouldn't you love to tour one of the many beautiful Parisian mansions dotted throughout the city? Since most have been divided into apartments or are not open to the public, ce n'est pas possible.

But, there is one- the Musée Nissim de Camondo, a spectacular private hotel at 63, rue de Monceau.

The entire collection is stunning. All of the French XVII century objects are woven in history—tables and vases from Marie Antoinette, and carpets from Versailles. It is not each object, but the whole incredible ensemble, that makes the collection harmonious and magical.
