DISCOVERY OF THE TEA PAVILION AND GARDEN
The garden, open and bright, created in 2018 by architects Agnès Latour-Kurashige and Jean-Sébastien Cluzel, hosts an authentic tea house (chashitsu), donated in 2001 by Japan, designed by architect Nakamura Masao and built by the best craftsmen from the Land of the Rising Sun. Its architecture is an ideal of peace and modesty, as well as an example of extreme refinement in the choice of different woods used. The tea pavilion is accessed by a small path planted with stone steps, dwarf bamboo, moss, horsetail, ferns, cherry tree, a lantern and a basin, as a preamble to the rituals of the tea ceremony.

The Hotel d'Heidelbach, avenue d'Iéna, is a mansion built at the request of the American banker Alfred Heidelbach by the architect René Sergent in 1913\. This house is one of the last testimonies of the Belle Époque in Paris. The building and its garden were renovated from 2015 to 2018, housing the Chinese furniture collections as well as the Japanese tea pavilion that hosts the tea ceremonies.
