Hôtel Salé & Musée Picasso Today
The Hôtel Salé is regarded by experts as one of the most extraordinary hotels particuliers of the 17th century. Built at the initiative of Pierre Aubert, a protégé of Fouquet and future owner of the site, this magnificent building features typically Mazarine architecture that honors Italian Baroque. It has a dual main body (a double row of rooms) that has now regained its original volumes. Fully restored, the grand staircase is the true masterpiece of the house.
Hôtel de la Païva
Constructed on the Champs-Élysées between 1856 and 1865, the hotel particulier of la Païva was once famous for the parties it hosted. Created at the initiative of Ester Lachman (nicknamed la Païva), it was designed by architect Pierre Manguin in an Italian Renaissance style with a hanging garden. The sumptuous building has retained its grand yellow onyx staircase, its sculptures of Dante, Virgil, and Plutarch, its magnificent allegorical murals, its Moorish-inspired bathroom (with a silver bathtub), and its grand salon decorated by Paul Baudry and Eugène Delapalanche.
Hôtel Biron & Musée Rodin Today
The Hôtel particulier Biron was built in 1727 by the famous architect Jean Aubert. Located on rue de Varenne within a magnificent 3-hectare park, the imposing edifice is shaped in the characteristic style of rocaille architecture, which was very fashionable at the time. The hotel was classified as a historic monument in 1926 before undergoing significant renovation and refurbishment. Today, its elegant rooms house numerous works by Rodin and Camille Claudel, as well as antique pieces from the sculptor's personal collection.
Hôtel de Donon & Musée Cognacq-Jay Today
This majestic hotel particulier dating from the late 16th century is located in the Marais district (3rd arrondissement). Its high roofs and the perfect unity of architectural elements are characteristic of the Age of Enlightenment. Inside, the building features a grand sumptuous attic, now serving as an exhibition space similar to the hull of an overturned ship. Fully restored to house a museum in 1990, the hotel has retained its woodwork in the ground floor rooms. Today, each room showcases period furniture and precious objects.
Hôtel d'Angoulême Lamoignon & Historical Library of the City of Paris Today
Built at the end of the Renaissance for Diane de France, the Hôtel de Lamoignon was inhabited by Guillaume I de Lamoignon (a famous parliamentarian) in the 17th century, and his family retained it until 1774. The building is one of the finest Parisian examples of typically Renaissance hotels particuliers and one of the first to use the colossal order: the Corinthian pilasters are situated on both levels of the building.
