The Hôtel Salé is a 17th-century Parisian mansion built in 1656-1659 by financier Pierre Aubert de Fontenay, exemplifying Mazarine architecture with Italian Baroque influences and a spectacular sculptural staircase. Now housing the Musée Picasso, visitors experience the building's ornate courtyards, elaborate stone decorations, and grand interiors restored to their original volumes after decades serving various institutional uses.
