Golden gallery and OECD

MY VISIT TO Golden galley bank of france AND OECD NEEDS A MENTION TO WIND UP MY EXPERIENCES ON PARIS VISIT.

A visit to the golden gallery of Bank of France is something that I would recommend .i am not very sure if it is open to all visitors and all days .but if one gets a chance i would recommend it for its beautiful room decorated in rich fabrics.

It was originally the Hotel de Toulouse which was built in 1635, and at one time, was the residence of Count de Toulouse. In 1811, Napoleon created Banque de France, and this building became its headquarters. The ceiling of the Golden Gallery was painted by François Perrier between 1645 and 1650.The gallery is a huge hall with a painted ceiling showing mythical scenes. Underneath, along green and gilded walls, there are four large paintings on each side framed in gold with vignettes on the bottom. Along the walls are red chairs with golden legs. A great view of the ceiling is in the large mirror at the end of the hall, with an 18th-century bust on the mantle. All paintings are in great shape.

Next door is a room with hunting symbols carved on the walls and flower plafond above the doors. And next to it is a hall with three large tapestries with green and yellow flowers. And that’s it.

 

Organisation of European conomic cooperation and development (oecd) has its headquarters in paris. The oecd is an international economic organisation of 34 countries founded in 1961 to stimulate economic progress and world trade. It is a forum of countries committed to democrasy and the free market economy, providing a platform to compare policy experiences, seek answers to common problems, identify good practices, and co-ordinate domestic and international policies of its members. Although not important from the view point of tourists but an important organisation located in paris that needs a mention .
