Book the Hôtel Gaillard, a Château Neo-Renaissance in the heart of Paris
The Cité de l'économie is housed in a neo-Renaissance architectural gem built in 1882 in the17th arrondissement of Paris : the Hotel Gaillard. This exceptional setting, fully classified as a Historic Monument, is the result of a rich history marked by three major periods: Private Mansion of the banker Émile Gaillard, it then became the most beautiful branch of the Banque de France before being completely rehabilitated to become the Cité de l'Économie.
A new kind of cultural place
The Cité de l'Économie is the first museum in Europe devoted to economic mechanisms. It introduces visitors to economic concepts and issues in an interactive and entertaining way, through a 2400m2 scenographic space. This place of life and exchange also offers thematic meetings, shows and temporary exhibitions to approach the economy differently and make it accessible to all.
The Spaces available to hire of Citéco:
- Les Toits Malesherbes: located at the top of the monument, Les Toits Malesherbes comprises an interior and an exterior: a modern hall divided into two zones (240m2 + 95m2), surrounding a 200m2 terrace with an extraordinary view.
- The Safe Room: thousands of safes line the walls of this room, which once housed the most precious belongings of the bank branch's customers. Today, it has become one of the museum's must-see rooms, thanks to its fascinating numismatic collections. Protected by a moat and a modern drawbridge, this prestigious room is full of surprises.
- l'Espace Tourelle: this former courtyard has been transformed into a welcoming interior space thanks to a contemporary glass roof. Adorned with a sublime historic turret, this room has vast zenithal light.
- Monceau Auditorium: with seating for 100 (including 3 places for people with reduced mobility), this modern auditorium is equipped with a video-protection and sound system.
- Le Hall Defrasse: this spectacular reception hall is accessed via a grandiose grand staircase, and features a metal skylight revealing the building's former interior facades. The bank counters of yesteryear are also present, for an unusual atmosphere steeped in history.

An extraordinary, fun and exciting museum for parents and children (level 6 or cm2 at least I think). For all those curious about economics, history, geopolitics and architecture. With 3 teenagers aged 11/13/15 we arrived at 3 p.m. and left at 7 p.m. there were so many games, experiences and videos to discover. I dreamed of finding a book in the museum store containing the infographics and essential content of the museum because they are so interesting. Unfortunately it doesn't exist!
Very beautiful building, well maintained. Great idea to place a very educational economic museum there. The games and scenarios are really basic and not always functional. Very interesting visit with comics in the store on the history of the economy
Paris is full of hidden or restored treasures, and it's a real chance to discover them for those who keep their eyes peeled!
It's nice to discover beautiful mansions, out of curiosity or love of beautiful sites.
Today, we are going to the northwest, in the 17th, and more particularly a stone's throw from Parc Monceau
