The Bemberg Foundation, a private art collection, is housed in the lovely Renaissance-style Hotel d’Assezat, an ornate town house built for the rich pastel merchant Pierre Assezat in the 16th century. Art collector George Bemberg opened the foundation to share his passion with the public. Apart from the for Renaissance bronze statues and 17th-century paintings, what is worthwhile about this exhibit is the space devoted to the modern French school of impressionism and pointillism, in particular the 36 paintings by Pierre Bonnard, who belonged to the post-impressionist group known as Les Nabis. The museum also has a little café, where you can buy a drink to sip in the cobbled courtyard.
