Jacquemart-André Museum (Musee Jacquemart-Andre) Tours

This museum, once the home of the wealthy art lovers Edouard André and Nélie Jacquemart, offers a peek into 19th-century Parisian life at its most lavish. The art collection includes French and Italian master works, and the building itself is also a draw, with a light-filled winter garden, a double-helix staircase, and period furnishings.
