This refers to a residence between the courtyard in front of the building and the garden at the back. The building is listed as a monument historique by decree of 20 October 1928 (the historical parts). It has housed the Embassy of the Swiss Confederation and the residence of the Swiss ambassador to France since 1938.

The Musée Marmottan Monet (French pronunciation: [myze maʁmɔtɑ̃ mɔnɛ]; English: Marmottan Monet Museum) is an art museum in Paris, France, dedicated to artist Claude Monet. The collection features over three hundred Impressionist and post-Impressionist paintings by Monet, including his 1872 Impression, Sunrise. A number of Impressionist works by other painters are also displayed; the museum hosts the largest Berthe Morisot public collection in the world.

The museum finds its origin in the 1932 donation by art historian Paul Marmottan of his father's pavillon de chasse, that he transformed into an hôtel particulier and which now houses the museum, to the Académie des Beaux-Arts, along with a sizeable family collection from the Renaissance and the Napoleonic era. The museum opened in 1934; its fame is the result of a donation in 1966 by Michel Monet, Claude's second son and only heir.

In British usage, the term townhouse originally referred to the opulent town or city residence (in practice normally in Westminster near the seat of the monarch) of a member of the nobility or gentry, as opposed to their country seat, generally known as a country house or, colloquially, for the larger ones, stately home. The grandest of the London townhouses were stand-alone buildings, comparable to the hôtel particulier, which notably housed the French nobleman in Paris, as well as to the urban domus of the nobiles of Ancient Rome. but many were terraced buildings.

British property developers and estate agents nowadays often use the term "townhouse" for terraced buildings, following the North American usage of the term, to aggrandise modest dwellings and attract buyers who associate the term "terraced house" with the cheap terraced housing built in the Victorian era to accommodate workers. The upmarket Victorian terraced housing, which can be found around many of London's garden squares, seems to be widely forgotten in these circles.
