This establishment is certified "Tourism & Handicap"
Description :
In the first decade of the 20th century, the banker Moïse de Camondo, a passionate collector of 18th-century
decorative arts, had a magnificent mansion built on the edge of Parc Monceau, inspired by the Petit
Trianon at Versailles but equipped with all modern comforts. In 1936, the mansion became a museum
and was named after his only son, killed during the First World War. One of the most exceptionally refined
family residences to visit.
Informations :
Renowned banker from Paris’ Belle Epoque, Moïse de Camondo passionately collected furniture and art objects from the French 18th century, reuniting an ensemble of rare quality. In 1911, he commissioned the architect René Sergent to construct a town house, on the edge of the Parc Monceau. The Petit Trianon de Versailles lends itself as a model, but behind the admirable decor of the wood-panelled apartments are modern installations: kitchens, offices and bathrooms. This ensemble, in its integrity, reveals the great collector’s taste and how an aristocratic town house operates. Film on the history of the family.
