Hôtel de Lauzun, Baroque private mansion in Ile Saint-Louis, France
The Hôtel de Lauzun features refined interior decorations with carved walls, mirrors, and gilded sculptures representing the early reign of Louis XIV.
Charles Gruyn des Bordes commissioned architect Charles Chamois to construct this mansion in 1657, which was later acquired by Antoine Nompar de Caumont.
Charles Baudelaire composed the initial poems of Les Fleurs du Mal within these walls and established the Club des Hashischins with Théophile Gautier.
The City of Paris maintains ownership of this historical monument since 1928, and the Paris Institute for Advanced Study operates within its premises.
The mansion displays an uncommon architectural layout facing the Seine River instead of the traditional courtyard and garden arrangement of its period.
