Claude Monet, Berthe Morisot, François Xavier Fabre, Edouard Manet... The Musée Marmottan Monet, deep in the 16th arrondissement, on the edge of the Bois de Boulogne, is home to some of the finest masterpieces of the Impressionist era. This First Empire mansion boasts an extensive collection of works ranging from paintings and sculptures to furniture, illuminations and even the swords of academicians!
