Chancellerie d'Orléans, Private mansion in 1st arrondissement of Paris, France.
The Chancellerie d'Orléans is a private mansion in the 1st arrondissement of Paris with interior designs by renowned artists including Pajou, Fragonard, Gouthière, Durameau, and Lagrenée. The spaces blend rococo and neoclassical elements throughout their decoration.
The mansion was built between 1704 and 1705 by architect Germain Boffrand for Philippe d'Orléans and served as residence for the chancellor of the Duke of Orléans from 1723 onward. It later lost this prominent role in the region's governance and aristocratic circles.
The grand salon features a large painted ceiling by Antoine Coypel, reflecting the architectural quality that defined French aristocratic homes of the early 1700s. The interior design expresses how the nobility of that era chose to present itself.
The restored mansion can be visited through guided tours organized by France's national archives within the Hôtel de Rohan location. The interior restoration work completed in 2021 makes the original decorations accessible to visitors.
The mansion was demolished in 1923, but its decorative elements were carefully documented and later reconstructed through detailed three-dimensional modeling. The World Monuments Fund directed this unusual restoration process.
