A hotel? A palace? A factory or a museum? Don’t panic! Follow the guide that will reveal the thousand and one architectural facets of this enigmatic building.
Immerse yourself in the history of the Hôtel de la Monnaie through its unique architecture. From the strategic choice of its location on the banks of the Seine to the industrial and royal courts, it is during this visit that you will discover the role and function of the dean of institutions.
You will see that nothing was left to chance by the architect Jacques-Denis Antoine when it was built in 1775. And since the Monnaie de Paris still retains the regal mission of making common currency (and many other objects of art), take advantage during this visit of a visit to the hottest museum in Paris (there is a foundry there!), where secrets of manufacture and transmission of know-how are interwoven...
