Hotel Gaillard, Private mansion in 17th arrondissement of Paris, France

The Hôtel Gaillard features brick walls with thin turrets and sleek roofs, contrasting with the cut stone buildings of Place du Général-Catroux.

Banker Émile Gaillard commissioned architect Jules Février to build this Renaissance-inspired residence between 1878 and 1882, modeling it after the Château de Blois.

The mansion contained an extensive collection of Medieval and Renaissance art, including Flemish tapestries, Asian porcelain, and nineteenth-century paintings.

The Cité de l'Economie museum, housed in the Hôtel Gaillard since 2019, opens from Tuesday through Sunday, presenting exhibitions about economic education.

The Bank of France purchased the mansion in 1919 and transformed the private residence into a bank branch while maintaining its architectural character.

Location: 17th arrondissement of Paris

Architects: Pierre Barthélemy Victor Jules Février
