Hôtel d'Avaray (Philippe's mansion)
In the story · Philippe's home
The 1720s mansion where Driss turns up for his job interview, moves into his marble bathroom and finally gets everyone dancing to Earth, Wind & Fire at Philippe's birthday. It is the residence of the Dutch ambassador, so admire the carriage gate from the street; the courtyard opens only on Heritage Days.
