Lonely Planet review for Hôtel Drouot
Paris’ most established auction house has been selling fine lots for more than a century. The bidding is in rapid-fire French (now also available on the website) and a 10% to 15% commission is charged on top of the purchase price. Viewings (always a vicarious pleasure) are usually from 11am to 6pm the day before and from 10.30am to 11.30am the morning of the auction. Further details can be found in the weekly Gazette de l’Hôtel Drouot (www.gazette-drouot.com; €3.40), available at the auction house and selected newsstands on Friday, as well as on the main Hôtel Drouot website.
