OFF THE BEATEN PATH
Have a few hours to slip away from the show? These charming hôtels particuliers offer a brief respite—and a treasure trove of inspiration too.
Musée Cognacq-Jay: What’s not to love about 18th-century French decor and fine art? In the heart of Le Marais—and a quick walk from a host of showrooms—the museum features the collection of the founder of the Samaritaine department stores, Ernest Cognacq, and his wife, Marie-Louis Jay. Also on view is “Fabrique du luxe,” an exhibit on the era’s haberdashers and historic Parisian luxury. 8 rue Elzévir
Musée de la Vie Romantique: Translated as the “Museum of Romantic Life,” this hot spot will host its monthly Romantic Thursday—a concert series is inspired by 1800s-era art fairs on rue Chaptal—on January 17, perhaps solidifying itself as the best way to wrap up the first day of Déco Off. The guest musician is Philippe Biros of the Regional Conservatory of Paris. Museumgoers can also enjoy the last few days of a Markus Lüpertz exhibit featuring the artist’s latest works. 16 rue Chaptal; closed Monday
Musée Jacquemart-André: A desk from Louis XV, a 17th-century cabinet that may have belonged to the Duchess of Fontanges (one of Louis XIV’s many mistresses), and works by Sandro Botticelli and Giovanni Bellini are must-sees at this museum near Saint Augustine. Visitors can also catch the tail end of a Caravaggio exhibit that includes nine of the Italian artist’s works. 158 boulevard Haussmann
Musée Nissim de Camondo: In a preserved mansion designed by architect René Sergent in the early 1900s, this museum, dedicated to French decorative art, houses chairs from the Turkish Room of Louis XVI’s sister Madame Elisabeth, Savonnerie factory carpets, and a roll-top desk by Jean-François Oeben, among other works from the late 1700s. 63 rue de Monceau; closed Monday and Tuesday
