L'Hotel Gaillard, 1 place du General Catroux, Paris 75017. At the end of the 19th century, Emile Gaillard, regent of the Banque de France, built a Renaissance style palace in the plain Monceau, inspired by the chateaux of Blois and Gien, from which he resumes in particular the bricks, dormers and chandeliers. The house showcases the banker's paintings and artifacts, especially during sought-after social evenings. Shortly after his death, the Banque de France acquired the mansion and opened a branch a few years later. Architect Jules February (1842-1937).
