Marais - Hôtel Guénégaud Musée de la Chasse et de la Nature

The Hôtel Guénégaud, built by François Mansart in 1651 in Marais for the royal treasurer François de Guénégaud, is now occupied by the Museum of Hunting and Nature. The nucleus of the museum was the collection assembled by the industrialist François Sommer, a keen sportsman. The exhibits include old guns, hunting knives, trophies, animal studies by François Desportes (1661-1743) and hunting scenes by Lucas Cranach, Pieter Breughel the Elder, Rubens, Chardin and Oudre.
