Although we had visited Paris on a number of occasions, we had never before heard of this museum and indeed the Parisian friend with us had never been there either. The museum is housed in an early 20th century mansion specially built for a wealthy banker both as his family home and to house his truly splendid collection of 18th... More

This home, built in the style of the 18th Century, is superbly furnished and intimate. And the Camondo family's saga is both inspiring and tragic, because of the impact two world wars had on them. Allow time to absorb the beauty of the home and the sadness of the family's story. More

It is as much the beautiful museum located in a district very chic and full of the Haussman history as its poignant story and the story of its former owners More
