Guided visit of the Hôtel de la Païva｜France

We will discover the Neo-Renaissance façade, the reception rooms on the ground floor, and then the Marquise's perfectly preserved bedroom and Moorish bathroom.
Sumptuous decor, scandals, and historical anecdotes about the life of a woman whose immense ambition took her from the ghetto to the elite.
Born to Polish Jewish parents in Moscow, Esther Lachman decided to flee her fate, which she considered miserable, and arrived in Paris via Constantinople, where she is said to have learned the world's oldest profession. Through her marriages and scandalous affairs, she managed to rise in society and was crowned a marquise and then a Prussian countess.
