If you walk along Rue de Courcelles, you can’t help but notice at number 48 a building with a particularly atypical architecture for the neighborhood: a Chinese pagoda with red facades.
Maison Loo is not just a pagoda. The founder, Ching Tsai Loo, aimed to build a cultural bridge between France and China. With the help of architect François Bloch, he transformed a classic private mansion into a Chinese pagoda. The Sino-French architectural fusion is a true tribute to love and respect for cultures.
The Pagoda is not open for public museum visits, but it hosts exhibitions and cultural salons throughout the year.
This is how an afternoon at Parc Monceau can turn into an unexpected discovery of China.
