Culture is a soft power and a link between countries, recalled a gala dinner organized by the French Friends of the Israeli Museum. It is at the Hotel Le Marois, built in 1863 by Count LeMarois, great art lover and collector.

The mansion remained the property of the Le Mar Lois family until 1927, when it was sold to the Association France-Amériques with the aim of promoting relations between the France and the American continent. Located slightly behind, at 9-11 avenue Franklin Roosevelt, this beautiful address welcomed Wednesday, May 24 the French association of the Friends of Tel Aviv Museum of Art for this meeting of the art world in Paris.
