| Located at 7 Rond Point des Champs Elysées, the Hôtel Dassault was erected in 1844. The site underwent a massive reconstruction in 1952 when Marcel Dassault purchased the building. A centre dedicated to art, and a unique place in Europe, the neo-classical building has been renovated by star architect Jean Michel Wilmotte to showcase art in all its forms. Since August 2002, the centre has re-opened the bookstore, and has created a gallery to display Artcurial limited editions. There are also offices for the auctioneers Artcurial Briest Poulain le Fur.
