"Cet ouvrage nous offre de découvrir les plus somptueux décors intérieurs de Paris, ordinairement inaccessibles pour la plupart. Ces lieux d'exception, abritant les sommets de l'État, des ministères et autres institutions, méritent donc le titre de « palais », qu'on réservait autrefois à la demeure des princes. La République a fréquemment adopté l'appellation comme la résidence, se logeant avec délice dans les ors et les boiseries. Ces édifices, pour la plupart construits et décorés aux XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles, ont été voulus par leurs commanditaires non seulement au goût du jour mais à la pointe de la mode. Ces merveilles, que l'histoire et la providence ont bien voulu nous léguer, illustrent la splendeur du « goût français » dans son âge d'or. Un livre exceptionnel, illustré par de splendides photographies. Parmi les sites présents dans l'ouvrage : Palais de l'Élysée, hôtel Matignon, Sénat, Assemblée nationale, ministères des Affaires étrangères, de la Justice, de la Culture, ambassades d'Allemagne, de Russie, de Suisse, Hôtel de Ville, Opéra Garnier"--FNAC website

This book offers us to discover the most sumptuous interior decorations of Paris, usually inaccessible for the most part. These exceptional places, home to the summits of the state, ministries and other institutions, therefore deserve the title of "palace", which was formerly reserved for the abode of princes. The Republic has frequently adopted the appellation as the residence, lodging itself with delight in the golds and woodwork. These buildings, for the most part built and decorated in the 17th and 18th centuries, were wanted by their sponsors not only to be up to date but at the cutting edge of fashion. These marvels, which history and Providence have bequeathed to us, illustrate the splendor of "French taste" in its golden age. An exceptional book, illustrated by splendid photographs. Among the sites present in the book: Élysée Palace, Hotel Matignon, Senate, National Assembly, Ministries of Foreign Affairs, Justice, Culture, Embassies of Germany, Russia, Switzerland, Town Hall , Garnier opera
