Papilio Mansion
Since 1923
Papilio Mansion is an architectural gem over one hundred years old, protected by the National Institute of Anthropology and History for its heritage value.
The mansion was built by a French family who, upon emigrating to Mexico, wanted to bring a piece of their homeland with them. To do so, they hired an architect from their country, who designed this elegant residence as a tribute to French architecture of the era.
Today, Henry Papilio II, your host, extends the warmest welcome. He is delighted to open the doors of this mansion to you and share with you the years of work dedicated to its restoration.
Papilio Mansion is also home to majestic peacocks, a friendly cat named Picasso, and a giant tortoise.
