What to see around the Musée Jacquemart-André?
West and north
Saint-Augustin caps the perspective of the boulevard ; its metal framework dates from the same Haussmannian construction site as the house. Ten minutes further on, Parc Monceau and its rotunda, with two museums along its perimeter—the Nissim de Camondo Museum and the Cernuschi Museum—both housed in private mansions from the same era as 158. This is the walk I recommend after your visit, when your eyes are full.
East
The Boulevard Haussmann leads in fifteen minutes to the Palais Garnier and the grands magasins. Same period, same ambition, same architect-king of the new city. A visit to the Palais Garnier on the same day makes sense ; I discuss it in the Palais Garnier.
The walk that connects it all
A two-hour private stroll starts at the Opéra, follows Boulevard Haussmann and the grands magasins, passes the Hôtel Jacquemart-André from the outside, Saint-Augustin church, and ends at Parc Monceau. The museum is not included : it’s the context of the house, not the house itself. The details of the six stages are on the Haussmannian walk.
Start the museum at 10 a.m., have lunch around noon, then walk to Parc Monceau. Around 3 p.m., the 158 bus is full and the park is in the sun.
Reminder: this walk is booked on GetYourGuide, but the museum admission ticket is purchased at the museum ticket office or at the counter of 158 Boulevard Haussmann.
