Citéco - Cité de l'économie
1 place du général Catroux 75017 Paris
The Cité de l'Économie opened its doors in June 2019\. The first museum in Europe dedicated to the economy, it offers a permanent exhibition and a rich and varied cultural program to discover the major concepts and mechanisms of the economy. His approach is playful and interactive.
It takes place in the Hotel Gaillard, an exceptional neo-Renaissance hotel built at the end of the 19th century, entirely listed as a historical monument, largely inspired by the west wing of the Château de Blois. Upon the death of Emile Gaillard, its sponsor, in 1902, the hotel went on sale. The Banque de France acquired it in 1919 to establish a branch there, active from 1922 to 2006\. The entire building has been restored and rehabilitated to accommodate Citéco in 2019.
