Palaces, chateaux, country houses

Many historic houses in Paris serve as residences

to

foreign

ambassadors

and

are

closed

to

the

general public. From a seventeenth-century

hôtel

particulier , to a Belle Époque palace, to a distinctively

contemporary setting, each residence rivals the next

in its beauty, art collection, and period furniture set

against a backdrop of accomplished refinement.

From China and Peru to Egypt and Poland,

Alain Stella

invites us over the threshold of the most prestigious

chancelleries and ambassadorial residences in Paris.

Superb photographs, specially commissioned for

this book, divulge the secrets of these previously

unpublished artistic and architectural treasures.
