Musée Nissim de Camondo

One of Paris's best kept secrets, painted by Monet numerous times. It is a very elegant centre of green in the middle of cosmopolitan Paris. Make sure you check out the statues, entrance rotunda and the surrounding mansions. Thanks to Haussmann himself this precious slice of parkland was reserved for the enjoyment and leisure of the people of Paris. It is unusual in France due to its casual, informal "English" style planning, and is a contrast to other Parisian parks such as the classically laid out and formal Luxembourg Gardens and the Tuileries. Randomly placed throughout the park are scaled-down architectural replicas including an Egyptian pyramid, Dutch windmill, and a Chinese fort. Free Wi-Fi in the park.

Private collection of French, Italian, Dutch masterpieces in a typical XIXth century mansion.

A striking 19th-century church blending Gothic and Romanesque styles with innovative iron construction, built during the Haussmann redesign of Paris.

A refined late 18th-century Neoclassical church with a calm, symmetrical interior inspired by early Christian basilicas.

This museum represents some key contemporary and emerging artists such as Jean Pierre Raynaud, Eva and Adele, and Jeff Koons.
