On the first floor of the Château Chanonier hides a little gem: the Salon Romantique. Within its 19th-century music-room interior, the Salon Romantique houses some real treasures, including a remarkable collection of period pianos (1800–1850).
The instruments on display in the Salon Romantique, with their metal strings and wooden cases, invite visitors to reconnect with the intimate sounds – recalled in many accounts of Chopin's playing – of a time when music was shared with family and friends around a piano.
More than a museum, the Salon Romantique is committed to being a lively cultural venue where people can hear the exceptional sounds of these instruments and compare them with those of modern instruments.
The Pleyel-Chopin association regularly proposes masterclasses, conferences, dedications, recitals, etc.
