That will be your chance to head to the stunning Place de la Concorde in Paris to discover the Hôtel de la Marine, one of the two twin buildings that dominate this historic square. This Louis XV-style building opened its doors to the public in 2021, after the departure of the Navy’s General Staff.
Today, there are several historical itineraries that take us back in time, through apartments and galleries that take us back in time to the 18th and 19th centuries. There's also the Al Thani Collection, which is alive with temporary exhibitions.
