Cour et Jardin de l'Hôtel de Sully, Historic garden in Le Marais district, Paris, France.
This 17th-century garden features symmetrical lawns, precisely trimmed boxwood hedges, a large green oak tree providing shade, and an elegant orangerie with five arched openings flanked by two pavilions with pointed roofs.
Built between 1624 and 1630 by financier Mesme Gallet and later acquired by Maximilien de Béthune, Duke of Sully in 1634, the property was designated a historic monument in 1862 and underwent major restoration completed in 2023.
The garden houses sculptural reliefs depicting allegories of Spring and Summer on the adjacent building façade, while the orangerie features a carved stone sundial that exemplifies classical French garden design traditions and artisanal craftsmanship.
The garden opens daily from 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM and is accessible via Saint-Paul metro station on Line 1, bus line 69 stopping at Place des Vosges, nearby Vélib' bike stations, or on foot from the historic neighborhoods.
The garden contains a secret historic passage connecting directly to Place des Vosges, while its orangerie features decorative lead weather vanes crowning the pavilions and serves as a venue for cultural exhibitions and guided tours.
