Its 18th-century rooms include masterpieces by Fragonard, Boucher, Rembrandt and Velázquez.
For those of us who love shoes, Manolo Blahnik is a reference worth of fascination, Sarah Jessica Parker definitely embodied the enthusiasm we feel when looking at the impressive creativity and craftsmanship of some of his creations.
