Many legendary homes in Paris, traditionally a centre of international diplomacy, now serve as residences to ambassadors to France. These historical sites, featuring sumptuous period decors, furnishings, and priceless artworks, are generally closed to the public because of their fragility and for security reasons. For this exceptional volume, 22 embassies have opened their doors and put some of their finest treasures on display.
