Can one imagine that in the middle of Boulevard Haussmann, a stone’s throw from Monceau Park, is a very special private mansion which contains the largest private art collection in Paris? This museum owes its existence to the banker Edouard Andre and the painter Nelie Jacquemart, a couple with a passion for 18th century art who, since their marriage in 1881, did not stop travelling in Europe and the East in order to gather paintings and other kinds of objects. 16 rooms are currently accessible to the public, preserved as when their owners lived there.

This museum offers a double interest: It is an immense work of art itself, containing hundreds of collectors’ items. At the entrance, you are welcomed by two of Boucher’s powerful paintings: Venus Asleep and The Toilet of Venus. Your guide will then take you across the large living room to appreciate its marble busts, before visiting several small rooms (the chamber, the boudoir, the music room, etc) where the most eclectic elements are gathered: English paintings (neglected in France), a Louis XVth chest, canvases of Rembrandt and other Flemish Masters. After the smoking-room, you will go up to the first floor in order to discover Nelie’s workshop and its collection of Italian sculptures.

  The covered passages of Paris

  Passages couverts

  From the Palais Royal, your guide will take you along to Galerie Vero Dodat for its beautiful art bookshops and onwards to the Galerie Vivienne, one of the most majestic passages, with Italian mosaics on the floor and a glass roof. The Galerie Vivienne will lead you to the Galerie Colbert, where exhibitions are regularly organized. Philatelists will appreciate the Passage des Panoramas, which leads to the Grands Boulevards made famous by Yves Montand’s songs. Very popular in the 19th century as an access way to the Grands Boulevards from the Palais Royal, the thirty remaining roofed passageways (formerly 140) enable you to plunge into a ”time warp”, cut off from street bustle. Today, one can find all kinds of shops here, as well as some cafes and especially, the remnants of a recent past where strolling and parading oneself was an essential activity of daily life. Starting in the sumptuous Palais Royal garden, you will then be transported through these nearly secret passageways, in the heart of Paris.

  Backstage at the Lido de Paris

  Lido de Paris - Paris

  Way before the birth of the great cabarets in France, the tradition of the « cafe concert » broke the social barriers of a time through popular cultural entertainment in a cafe ambience. Inspired by this tradition and by that of Music Hall, the Clerico brothers opened the Lido on the Champs-Elysees in 1946. Thus was invented the now famous dinner show format, and the revues followed, each more spectacular than the previous one. The cabaret was reinvented and the legend of Paris nightlife was created. Don’t judge a book by its cover! Behind this cheery, superficial Parisian image of the Lido lies an extremely complex organisation. The backstage tour of this legendary cabaret will take you where few people go, into the costume rooms full of flamboyant costumes, reserved for its dancers, costume designers and makeup artists. Your guided tour will then show you around the building with its unique architecture. You will be stunned by the complex set of pulleys, plates and giant elevators used to widen the stage and transform the sets. It’s simply magical! Who would resist the temptation of the dinner show after such an exciting visit?

"Dance, opera, extravaganza, music, drama, tragedy, comedy, vaudeville and pantomime": each of these words appear on the ceiling, as if like a promise to the diversity of the arts that Chatelet hosts since its creation.
