Art, history, architecture, and culture converge brilliantly at theCaumont Centre d’Art, housed in the former Hôtel de Caumont, a striking 18th-century mansion built between a courtyard and garden. Set in the neighborhood of Mazarin, the elegant space has evolved from a private residence to a place to house Resistance soldiers, a dance conservatory, and finally, an art venue curated by Culturespaces. Along with its pristine historical rooms and meticulously manicured grounds, the center also presents a film on Cézanne in its auditorium and hosts two temporary exhibits celebrating the great artists such as the recent Masterpieces from the Guggenheim Foundation: From Manet to Picasso each year. On the lower level, the Cafe Caumont is the ideal location for breakfast and afternoon tea during the day and jazz in the garden during summer nights.
