Sample Book Insights:

#1 I set out to find Charles Ephrussi, the owner of number 81 rue de Monceau, in Paris. It is a beautiful house that has been turned into an office for medical insurance.

#2 The Hôtel Ephrussi was a family house, but it was also the Parisian headquarters of a family in its ascendancy. It was built in 1871 in new and fashionable areas, and it shared a sense of drama with the Palais Ephrussi in Vienna.

#3 The family was able to expand their business network and finance huge capital projects by investing in bridges, railways, and docks. They became a bank. Each deal they made with a government was a step towards greater respectability.

#4 The Ephrussi family, who were Jewish, lived in the rue de Monceau, which was developed by Isaac and Emile Pereire, two Sephardic brothers who had made their fortunes as financiers, railroad-builders and property magnates.
