Hôtel de Tallard, Private mansion in Quartier des Enfants-Rouges, France

Hôtel de Tallard is a private mansion located on Rue des Archives with an impressive entrance, ornamental stonework, and columned details on its front facade. The property extends through a coach passage to service buildings and features a garden running parallel to Rue de Beauce.

Built between 1702 and 1704 for Denis-Jean Amelot de Chaillou, a royal official, this mansion later became known as the residence of Marshal Tallard when he purchased it in 1722. The change in ownership marked a shift in the building's social standing and its connection to French military leadership.

The name comes from Camille d'Hostun, Duke of Tallard and Marshal of France, who bought the mansion in 1722; it is also called Hôtel Amelot de Chaillou after its builder. The carved relief on the wooden tympanum of the arched portal shows two angels holding a medallion with the monogram A for Amelot. The wrought-iron stair railing is attributed to Pierre Le Muet.

This is a private residence not open to the public, but visitors can observe its architecture and decorative details from the street. The building's location in the Quartier des Enfants-Rouges makes it easy to find among nearby galleries and shops.

The wooden tympanum over the Rue des Archives portal carries a carved relief of two angels holding a medallion with the monogram A for Amelot, the family that commissioned the mansion. The 1980 listing covers the gate and this tympanum along with the façades, roofs, cellars and garden.
