The Villa Déjazet

The Villa Déjazet was once home to Baron Bosio, an official artist under the First Empire and the Restoration.
He sculpted, among other things, the Quadriga in the Carroussel at the Louvre, and the equestrian statue of Louis XIV in the Place des Victoiers in Paris. He sold the villa to Virginie Déjazet, who lived there from 1840 to 1874. Born in 1798, she began performing on stage at the age of 5. She became a famous actress and knew all of Paris, receiving Dumas père, Victorien Sardou, Adolphe Adam and many others. She died in poverty and is buried at Père Lachaise in Paris.
