Unlike regular museums, these private museums were initially curated by individuals completely unaware that the space would one day be walked through by millions of strangers. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Similar to the Jacquemart-Andr\u00e9, the Cognacq-Jay Museum is a gem of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/hidden-gems-in-le-marais\/\">Le Marais<\/a>. Located toward the north of the district, the museum is open to visitors daily except for Mondays . <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">It is a short walk from the Picasso Museum which is great to do for a few hours before heading to the Cognacq-Jay. Le Marais in general has a lot to offer in terms of sites and museums; the Cognacq-Jay is an easy one to do and doesn\u2019t require obscene amounts of time to see everything within its walls. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\" style=\"text-align: center\"><strong><span class=\"s1\">Cognacq-Jay Museum<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\" style=\"text-align: center\"><em><span class=\"s1\">8 Rue Elzevir, 75003 Â鶹APP<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\" style=\"text-align: center\"><span class=\"s1\">Admission: \u20ac8<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s3\">1. <\/span><span class=\"s1\">The History of the Cognacq-Jay Museum<\/span><\/h4>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><em>La Samaritaine<\/em> was once a historic department store well known around Â鶹APP. Roughly ten years ago it closed down for good, but remains the legacy of Marie-Louise Jay and her husband Ernest Cognacq. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This was their main source of income for the early years of their lives. Later on, they developed a new interest in the collecting of art and furniture. Fast forward a century or two and this is still the collection we go and view today.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_16167\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16167\" class=\"size-full wp-image-16167\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/cognacq-jay_2018_8596_web_1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/cognacq-jay_2018_8596_web_1.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/cognacq-jay_2018_8596_web_1-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-16167\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cognacq-Jay Museum &#8211; by Cognacq-Jay Museum &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.museecognacqjay.paris.fr\/en\/hosting-event-cognacq-jay-museum\">Sourced from their website<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">I like to draw parallels between this couple and the couple behind the Jacquemart-Andr\u00e9 museum. Similarly, \u00c9douard Andr\u00e9 and N\u00e9lie Jacquemart were a married couple who dedicate the later part of their lives to collecting works of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/top-ten-places-to-watch-street-artists-in-paris\/\">art<\/a> for their display space. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Thanks to these collectors over the years they leave behind preserved art collections that form the private <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/what-to-do-in-the-rodin-museum-in-paris\/\">museums<\/a> we know and love.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s3\">2. <\/span><span class=\"s1\">Permanent Collection of the Cognacq-Jay Museum<\/span><\/h4>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">It should be noted that the permanent collection at the Cognacq-Jay museum is completely free to the public to visit. It is only necessary to pay admission if you would like to experience any of the temporary <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/paris-best-exhibitions-of-2019\/\">exhibitions<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The theme of the museum revolves around the Age of Enlightenment. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The museum found its permanent home inside the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/top-10-hotel-bars-in-paris\/\">H\u00f4tel<\/a> Donon of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/top-5-best-restaurants-in-le-marais\/\">Le Marais<\/a>.

Essentially, what you come to this museum to see is everything inside of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/our-recommended-3-star-hotels-in-paris\/\">hotel space<\/a>. The floorboards, wall panels and paint included. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Amongst other pieces in the museum are a variety of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/top-10-artworks-to-hunt-down-in-paris\/\">artworks<\/a>, sculptures, antique collectables and elegant furniture. The children\u2019s portraits and Asian artworks are fascinating \u2014 don\u2019t miss these during your visit. <\/span><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s1\">3. Gardens in the Cognacq-Jay Museum<\/span><\/h4>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">In addition to the impressive interior, the Cognacq-Jay Museum also features some impressive <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/top-10-best-parks-and-gardens-in-paris\/\">gardens<\/a> for visitors to enjoy either before or after their visit. They belong exclusively to the H\u00f4tel Donon and technically do not make up part of the official museum. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">You can\u2019t get to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/what-to-do-in-luxembourg-gardens-in-paris\/\">gardens<\/a> through the museum. You actually have to leave the property and go around the entire block to the back entrance of the mansion which is where you\u2019ll enter the gardens from rue Payenne. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">There are benches and grass patches on which to laze. Some visitors like to bring a packed lunch to enjoy on the lawns. <\/span><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s4\">4. <\/span><span class=\"s1\">Nearby Attractions of the Cognacq-Jay Museum<\/span><\/h4>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Le Marais is one of the most vibrant and attraction filled neighborhoods in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/an-insiders-guide-to-theatres-in-paris\/\">Â鶹APP<\/a>. A visit to the Cognacq-Jay Museum puts you in the heart of this area and within walking distance of many other worthwhile <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/top-5-hair-salons-in-paris\/\">excursions<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">For a trip through the 17th century walk over to the Carnavalet Museum just one block south.

It\u2019s a <i>must<\/i> while in Â鶹APP but try go later to avoid the long lines. You could even take your meal back up to the Cognacq-Jay Museum <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/top-10-best-parks-and-gardens-in-paris\/\">gardens<\/a> to enjoy them there. <\/span><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s1\">5. Experience 18th Century Living at the Cognacq-Jay Museum<\/span><\/h4>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">If there\u2019s any reason to visit the Cognacq-Jay Museum it would be to immerse yourself in 18th century art, decor and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/history-of-the-crepe\/\">history<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This was an interesting era during the ebb and flow of Â鶹APP life.
