L'hôtel de Salm was built under Louis XVI's reign, at the time of the appearance of a new fashion area, the faubourg Saint-Germain. Conceived by the architect Rousseau for the Prince of Salm-Kyrbourg, this palace with its Palladio-like columns, sold under the French Empire to become the seat of the Légion d'honneur, burnt down under the Paris Commune, then transformed, on the Orsay-station side, to keep the collections of the Légion d'honneur museum, is the residence of the Great Chancellor of the Ordre.

This book opens the doors of the palace for a private and complete visit, guided by Jean-Pierre Samoyault for the inside décor, and Jacques Foucart for the paintings. Joëlle Barreau offers a new and fundamental study on the architecture, and Anne de Chefdebien invites to revisit the entirely-restored museum.
