Hôtel Amelot de Gournay, Private mansion in Saint-Thomas-d'Aquin, France.

The Hôtel Amelot de Gournay features an oval courtyard extended by low horseshoe-shaped wings and a curved facade decorated with colossal composite pilasters.

Architect Germain Boffrand built this mansion in 1712, selling it to diplomat Michel-Jean Amelot de Gournay in 1713, who served as its first notable resident.

The building now houses the Maison de l'Amérique latine, a cultural center fostering exchanges between France and Latin American countries.

Located at 1 Rue Saint-Dominique in Paris's 7th arrondissement, visitors can view the courtyard on weekdays near Solférino metro station.

The western wing of this historical monument currently serves as the Embassy of Paraguay, while sharing lower floors with the Hôtel de Varengeville.
