Hôtel d'Assézat & Fondation Bemberg
Hôtel d'Assézat
Toulouse's most magnificent Renaissance mansion, built by a woad merchant. It houses the Bemberg Foundation art collection.
The Hôtel d'Assézat was built by a merchant who grew rich in the 16th century from woad dye. It is a showcase of Toulouse Renaissance architecture, and its courtyard façade is finely layered with classical columns. The Fondation Bemberg inside the mansion holds paintings and furniture from the Renaissance to the 20th century, with particularly strong holdings of Impressionist works and works by Bonnard. The courtyard can be entered and viewed for free. The mansion is in the old town by the Garonne River, about a 2-minute walk from the Pont Neuf.
