Located just a stone’s throw from Parc Monceau, on Place du Général-Catroux in Paris’s 17th arrondissement, Hôtel Gaillard stands out with its singular, grandiose façade, in the midst of a district marked by Haussmannian architecture and cut stone.

The building, erected at the end of the 19th century, fascinates with its architectural audacity. Its slender roofs and delicate turrets emerging from brick walls captivate Parisians.

Originally the mansion of wealthy banker Emile Gaillard, then a branch of the Banque de France, this sumptuous neo-Renaissance urban château now houses the collections of the CITECO Museum, the first museum dedicated to the economy and its mechanisms.
