In the heart of the Marais area, between a courtyard and a garden, a nice private mansion presents an exceptional art collection of the 18th century : paintings by Boucher, Chardin and Fragonard, drawings by Watteau, sculptures and furniture, precious items (jewels, snuffboxes, Dresden china...). Atmosphere of a Parisian house of the 18th century.
Collections given to the city of Paris by Ernest Cognacq and his wife, Louise Jay, creators of the Samaritaine department store.
