Hôtel de Lauzun, Baroque private mansion in Ile Saint-Louis, France
The Hôtel de Lauzun is a baroque private mansion on Île Saint-Louis with ornately decorated interior spaces. The rooms display carved wooden walls, mirrored surfaces, and gilded sculptures from the early Louis XIV period.
The mansion was built in 1657 for Charles Gruyn des Bordes by architect Charles Chamois. It later passed to Antoine Nompar de Caumont, a favored figure at the French court.
The mansion served as a gathering place for 19th-century artists and writers who met here for creative exchanges. This connection to Paris's intellectual circles remains part of its character today.
Paris owns this historic site as a municipal landmark, with the Paris Institute for Advanced Study operating within the building. Visitors should check in advance about access, as the mansion remains an active working location rather than a public museum.
The building faces the Seine River rather than following the typical courtyard and garden layout common to mansions of its period. This unusual orientation allows river views directly from the house's main facades.
