Book the Cité de l'économie, a neo-Renaissance Château in the heart of Paris

The Cité de l'Économie is housed in a neo-Renaissance architectural jewel built in 1882 in the 17th arrondissement of Paris: the Hôtel Gaillard. This exceptional setting, entirely classified as a historical monument, is the fruit 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 entirely renovated 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 2400^m2 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, the Toits Malesherbes are composed of an interior and an exterior: a modern hall divided into two areas (240^m2 + 95^m2), spreading out around a 200^m2 terrace^with an extraordinary view.

-The Safe Deposit Box: Thousands of safe deposit boxes line the walls of this room, which once housed the most valuable possessions of the bank branch's customers.
