Hôtel Emile-Justin Menier, Private mansion in 8th arrondissement of Paris, France
The mansion features an ornate facade with sculptural elements by Jules Dalou, including animal heads and decorative mascarons facing Avenue Van-Dyck.
Constructed between 1869 and 1870 by architect Henri Parent for chocolate industrialist Emile-Justin Menier, the mansion celebrated its inauguration with a grand reception in 1874.
The mansion represents the social status of industrial leaders in 19th century Paris, hosting annual balls that gathered over two thousand distinguished guests.
The building, located at 5 Avenue Van-Dyck next to Parc Monceau, has been converted into private apartments and can be viewed only from the street.
In 1971, the mansion narrowly escaped demolition when it received protected building status, preserving its architectural heritage for future generations.
