Hôtel de Bourrienne

The interior decoration, in the style of the Consulate period, has been preserved in many of rooms. The dining-room contains furniture by Jacob. The study, whose ceiling was once decorated with a painting by Prud'hon, has still the antique-style dadoes and cartouches, while the drawing room boasts a fine series of stucco panels and a painted ceiling representing a canopy. The bedroom is decorated in pure Pompeian style. The visit ends with the bathroom, painted in blue and gold, with its delicately chiseled mirrors and small columns. This charming town mansion is, in Paris, one of the few of the Empire period open to the general public.
