Embark on a timeless tour to discover the architecture of the Monnaie de Paris, designed by Jacques-Denis Antoine when it was built in 1775.

By the light of flashlights, architectural details and peculiarities come to the fore, for a timeless stroll. Mansion, factory, museum: all the lives and missions of La Monnaie de Paris are revealed through the collections and architectural choices that have transformed the building over the centuries.
