A haunt of artists

The home of Ary Scheffer became for 38 years the meeting place of artistic and intellectual All-Paris. Delacroix comes as a neighbor, Chopin comes to play on the piano. The museum now recreates a harmonious historical setting evoking the Romantic era.

In the museum garden, the Rose Bakery tea room, a true haven of peace, allows you to take a gourmet break during this travel in the past.
