This is a gem, one of our very best experiences in Paris. The amazing detail on display, from the kitchen, to the social and living quarters, is breath-taking. One needs little imagination to get a sense of the life of the well to do living right on the edge of the Parc Monceau. The family history balances the sweet with... More

This musee was on my list this visit and we enjoyed the history and house. Not crowded at all when we visited. We used the audio for some of the works of art and the kitchen. Sad to look at the photos of the the son and family and know that this family has died out, but the house and... More

A small lesser known museum, this home of an aristocratic Jewish family was a wonderful place to visit. the story is a sad one as mentioned in previous reviews. Located near the Parc Monceau, a visit to both makes for a lovely 1/2 day in this area of the city.

This beautiful home, the residence of a Jewish banking family, is a set-piece of life in the late 19th and early 20 century. The story of the family, the last member of which was taken by the Nazis, is fascinating.

This is a bit like an exhibition of Catherine the Great's collection in the Hermitage Museum in St Petersburg but infinitely more personal as it is a real collection by one family. If you like exquisite furniture and artifacts then this is for you. Then walk in the park that the museum/mansion overlooks. Don't miss it, it's not crowded and... More

Since my hotel was in the 8th arr., I decided to check out what sites there were nearby and found out about the Nissim de Camondo Museum. Was really glad that I did... it's the home / extensive private art collection of a wealthy 19th C. family. It reminded me of a movie set, everything was still arranged in the... More

I think I discovered this in a guide - for some reason I had never heard about it. Well, it is just fascinating to visit a house of a grand bourgeois at the turn of the century which feels almost intact. I took my mum there after visiting the first time, and she has taken countless friends there since -... More

Has to rate as one of Paris hidden gems. Moïse de Camondo was the utimate collectors of eighteen century art. It is not a museum, it is a home, lavish, tasteful elegant. You are a silent witness of how the De Camondo family lived their daily lives surrounded by the most exquisite furniture, art pieces, rich de la Savonnerie carpets... More

Now that paris is officially in the tourist season why not try some of the lesser populated sites? I'd recommend Nissim de Camondo museum. The museum itself is less of a museum and more of a home - think Downton Abbey in France and replace the rolling english countryside with Parc Monceau. the house portrays life as it was like... More
