Hôtel d'Almeyras, Private mansion in Marais district, Paris, France
Description
The Hôtel d'Almeyras is a private mansion in the Marais district located on Rue des Francs-Bourgeois, characterized by alternating brick and stone elements across its symmetrical facade. The building retains its original structure and displays the architectural quality typical of 17th-century Parisian noble residences.
History
The mansion was built in 1611 for Pierre d'Alméras, a royal secretary, marking an important moment in the Marais district's development. A garden pavilion was added in the 1620s, and a wrought iron gate was later installed at the entrance, showing how the property was modified over time.

Walking past, you can observe how this design choice reflects the period's idea of order and prestige, common to many mansions in the Marais district.
