Description

Surrounded by lush green shutters, the former home of famed artist Ary Scheffer is situated in a quaint cobblestone courtyard at the end of a tranquil alleyway. Inside, you will be transported back to the Romantic era of Paris, when George Sand, Chopin, Delacroix and other renowned personalities frequently attended salons here. A small fee (adult/reduced €9/7) will grant you access to the museum's temporary exhibitions, after which you can enjoy a cup of tea and a sweet treat in the charming garden cafe.
