Hôtel de Lassay, Official residence in 7th arrondissement, Paris, France
The Hôtel de Lassay is a private mansion in the 7th arrondissement of Paris, positioned directly next to the Palais Bourbon. The building features tall arched windows and ornately decorated facades displaying Italian architectural style.
Construction took place from 1722 to 1728 with multiple architects including Giardini and Jean Aubert working on the project. This collaborative effort resulted in a building that marks the transition from Baroque to early Neoclassical style.
The name comes from the aristocratic family who first commissioned the building in the 1700s. Today the interior spaces reflect their original purpose through lavish decorations and art collections that visitors can see in the formal rooms.
The residence functions as the official home of the President of the National Assembly and sits on rue de l'Université. Being situated next to the Palais Bourbon makes the location easy to find when exploring the main government buildings.
Beneath the building lies a famous wine cellar that officials consider the finest in the entire Republic. This hidden collection documents the tradition of craftsmanship and refined taste that the estate has maintained across generations.
