Hôtel Fumé, Renaissance private mansion in Poitiers, France.
The mansion features an ornate Gothic facade with projecting towers, stone balconies, and detailed sculptural elements along Rue René-Descartes.
Pierre Fumé, a city council member, initiated the construction between 1470 and 1484, with later expansions during François Fumé's mayoral term in 1520.
The Faculty of Human Sciences at the University of Poitiers occupies this mansion, maintaining educational functions since its acquisition in 1919.
The building contains administrative offices and lecture halls, with teaching facilities positioned around a central courtyard near maintained gardens.
The 1920s restoration revealed a mosaic displaying the University of Poitiers coat of arms and its founding date of 1431.
