These four Louis XVI style rooms were removed from the Hôtel de Breteuil before it was demolished in 1923 and were reassembled at the Musée Carnavalet in Paris. The mansion was built in the late 18th century by a master carpenter named Jacques Millet. It later became the home of Viscount Claude-Stanislas Le Tonnelier de Breteuil who gave it his name. The furniture displayed in the rooms is from the same period.
