Hôtel de Mayenne, Private mansion in Arsenal Quarter, Paris, France

The Hôtel de Mayenne features a grand stone and brick facade with two lateral pavilions connected by a monumental street portal.

Between 1613 and 1617, architect Jean Androuet du Cerceau transformed the former Petit-Musc residence into the current mansion for Charles de Lorraine.

The mansion contains a remarkable 1609 grand staircase decorated with a sculpted tympanum depicting Pallas seated among trophies.

The building houses the Francs-Bourgeois school group, offering primary through high school education at 21 Rue Saint-Antoine.

Iron balconies added between 1645 and 1650 display Lorraine crosses, reflecting the property's connection to the House of Lorraine.

Location: Quartier de l'Arsenal

Architects: Jean Androuet du Cerceau
