History
In 1784, Nicolas Beaujon had an country estate built called La Folie-Beaujon on which the garden is found.[1] The house and grounds were purchased by the Baroness Salmon de Rothschild in 1873 and 1882.[1] She donated the land to the French state on her death.[1] The chapel of Saint-Nicolas-de-Beaujon was demolished to make way for the rotunda.[1]
Open to the public thanks to the generosity of the National Foundation for Graphic and Plastic Arts, this garden is part of the Hôtel Salomon de Rothschild.[1]
