Citéco, the Cité de l'économie, occupies the Hôtel Gaillard, a mansion built between 1878 and 1882, at 1 place du Général-Catroux (17th arrondissement). Its interactive permanent exhibition explains economics to the general public, and temporary exhibitions, talks and workshops complete the offer. Parc Monceau is nearby.
