Last week we uncovered the mysteries of the city’s most exclusive dwellings for you. But another prestigious residence, more confidential and enigmatic, more than aristocratic, more than royal, reveals its secrets at the Musée du Louvre.
China has lent over one hundred and thirty works of art to the Louvre as testimonies of six centuries of imperial History, closeted within the walls of the Forbidden City. A massive model of the Beijing palace may be admired and observed in the medieval crypts of the Paris palace.
Paris museums offer many opportunities for unique, world-class cultural experiences… Who would have thought that China was right next door to your Hotel Saint-Petersbourg Paris?
