"Boiserie"
The pleasant room next to the Louis XV dining room, with its elegant victorian style fireplace, was much used in the XIX the century by writers and intellectuals. It is entirely wood pannelled, and the 2 stained glass windows by Jacques Gruber, and a unique oil painting by George Clairin representing the only existing nude of Sarah Bernhardt , make it quite exquisite.
