HISTORICAL SALONS

Monnaie de Paris was officially founded in 864 with the Edict of Pistres. In the Edict, Charles II. The decision to construct the current building on the Quai de Conti, in Paris's 6th arrondissement, was made by Louis XV (1715-1774). Jacques-Denis Antoine was the architect he entrusted with creating a palace on the banks of the river and a royal manufacture. Monnaie de Paris was officially established on the Quai de Conti on 20 December 1775. 
 
Antoine created a royal building, a veritable palace in keeping with the prestige of its location and function. It incorporated and a modern, logical manufacture, designed according to Enlightenment rationalist theories, as reflected in the neoclassical architecture of the age. Extraordinarily, the 34,000 m2 edifice has maintained its original purpose to this day; Paris's first manufacturing establishment when it was built, it is now the last still in operation.

The grand salon is named after Guillaume Dupré (1576-1643), one of the great protagonists of medal art in France. Of remarkable dimensions, the floor area of the Dupré Lounge reaches 200 square meters for a height under vault of 13 meters.

GUY SAVOY'S RESTAURANT

Discover a gourmet restaurant run by a top Michelin-starred chef at Monnaie de Paris
 
Guy Savoy has moved his three-star Parisian restaurant to Monnaie de Paris, where he has taken over the first-floor rooms of the west wing overlooking the Seine.

In 2015, he joined Monnaie de Paris as a partner to relocate his restaurant to 11 Quai de Conti, where the magnificent suite of rooms on the first floor was re-envisaged and redesigned for the purpose by the chef's friend and architect Jean-Michel Wilmotte. Subdued tones were chosen for the interlinking spaces; a harmony of warm, slate greys to realise the architect's concept based on shadow with depth. All the light filters through the high, wide windows that open on to the Louvre, the Pont Neuf, the Seine, and the Institut de France, emphasising the tables, the defining feature of the decorative scheme.
A ceiling painted by Fabrice Hyber and works from the François Pinault collection echo the contemporary art exhibitions curated by Monnaie de Paris.
 
The restaurant allows the chef to welcome about sixty guests, reservation required:

THE 11 CONTI MUSEUM

After nine centuries of roaming the capital, in the 18th century, Monnaie de Paris settled in a bespoke building, the royal manufacture of coins and medals, at 11 Quai de Conti. After minting coins for the state for 1150 years, Monnaie de Paris possesses invaluable tangible and intangible heritage: a collection of 170,000 objects, artisan skills that have inherited centuries-old traditions, and a site made up of 17th and 18th century buildings.

The 11 Conti Museum showcases this exceptional heritage. Metal is presented in all its forms and from all angles of approach: raw or transformed; from natural history collections or the result of scientific research; works of art and the peak of technical progress; vectors of economic exchanges; archaeological discoveries; as a witness to changing trends; in the writing of our symbols; and as a mirror of civilisations. Art, science and technology, history of peoples, tastes and economy, archaeology and sociology, the 11 Conti Museum brings together all these disciplines to express all the richness and diversity of the collections and know-how of Monnaie de Paris.
