Private visit to a Paris collection of curiosities, the secret garden serving as an inspiration for the Maison Hermès.

Grandson of the prestigious Parisian saddle-maker and visionary entrepreneur, Emile Maurice Hermès (1871-1951) was an enthusiast for all that combined beauty with the useful. He put together a collection of singular objects from the world of art and the decorative arts, paintings, drawings and books—a veritable history of horses and travel that crisscrosses latitudes and eras.

Preserved as it was originally displayed, his private collection creates the effect of an astonishing Aladdin’s cave of treasures.  Travel cases for toiletries, walking sticks with ingenious mechanisms, goat carts, masterpieces of Carmelite paper-art, saddles and slipper-stirrups from the Amazon, a horse-tricycle, and a whimsical 18th century herbarium feature along the way in this trip through time in a captivating place, a reflection of the history of Maison Hermès and a source of its creativity.

The Great Exhibition of London in 1851 and the five that followed in Paris from 1855 to 1900 provided architects with a veritable playground for their work, initiated by the Crystal Palace, built by Joseph Paxton and famous for its transparency.

It presents an exceptional selection of proposals for spectacular constructions: the Palais train station at the Champ-de-Mars (1878); the Tour Eiffel (1889), and the Porte Monumentale (1900). The visit will be conducted by Monsieur François Blanchetière, Conservateur du Patrimoine and Madame Fabienne Chevallier, architectural historian and Chargée de la Mission Inventaires at the Musée d'Orsay.

She introduces us to the artist, often described as a Mediterranean Fauvist. Affiliated with Fauvism, linked to Matisse, Marquet and Manguin, Charles Camoin (1879-1965) never gave up his artistic independence.
