Hotel de la Tour d'Auvergne (Republic of Chile) (7 of 7)
With an entire interior designed by Pierre Adrien Pâris, the dining room has been listed as an historic building. King Louis XV would often turn to this artist to devise festivals, ceremonies, and balls at court. The statues are the work of a sculptor from Genoa,
Augustin Bocciardi. Dating from the eighteenth century, the interior decor was taken from the hôtel belonging to the Crillon family and reinstalled in the residence in the early twentieth century.
