A unique glimpse inside a world of luxury, tradition, and splendor. Many historic homes in Paris serve as residences to foreign ambassadors; these historical sites are closed to the general public. From a seventeenth-century hôtel particulier, to a Belle Epoque 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. Alain Stella invites us over the threshold inside the most prestigious chancelleries and ambassador residences in Paris—from China and Peru to Egypt and Poland. Tapestries inspired by Goya’s drawings grace the lavish salons at the Spanish residence. Jean Prouvé and Charlotte Perriand created a minimalist interior at the Japanese residence that evokes the refined style of a traditional Japanese home. The palace of Eugène de Beauharnais—home to the German ambassadors since 1818—retains its elaborate Empire style, intact since the time of Josephine. Superb photographs, specially commissioned for this book over the course of a year, divulge the secrets of these previously unpublished artistic and architectural treasures.

Excerpt from Memorable Paris Houses: With Illustrative, Critical and Anecdotal Notices Messrs. Chapman and Hall have courteously permitted a somewhat free use of the pages of the recently published An Englishman in Paris, and a similar privilege has been kindly granted by Messrs. R. Bentley and Son in respect of Dr. Engel's From Mozart to Mario. A selection from what appeared to be the most interesting subjects in portraits and views has been made for illustra tion 5 and that grand mausoleum of great men, the Pantheon, naturally suggested itself as an appropriate frontispiece.

In this illustrated book, the author examines the origins and development of Paris and attempts to identify exactly how that architectural harmony has been achieved.
