A glimpse inside the unique worlds of rich cultural heritage, tradition, and splendour. Many historic houses in Paris serve as residences to foreign ambassadors ; these majestic sites are closed to the general public. From a seventeenth-century htel particulier, to a Belle Epoque palace, each residence rivals the next in its beauty, art collection, and period furniture set against a backdrop of accomplished refinement.
