Hôtel de Brionne, Private mansion in Paris, France.
The Hôtel de Brionne was an elegant private mansion that featured classical French architecture with symmetrical facades, ornate stonework, and carefully designed interior spaces typical of aristocratic residences.
Built around 1676 and reconstructed in 1734 by architect Robert de Cotte, the mansion served various noble families before being demolished around 1806 during urban redevelopment projects.
During the French Revolution, the mansion housed the Committee of General Security in May 1793, playing a crucial role in revolutionary administration and connecting directly to the Tuileries Palace.
Located near the Tuileries Palace, the mansion occupied a strategic position in central Paris with covered passages allowing direct communication to the royal palace for its aristocratic residents.
Caroline Bonaparte and Joachim Murat resided in this mansion around 1801, making it one of the few Parisian residences to house members of Napoleon's family during the early Empire period.
