Hôtel Raoul, Private mansion in Le Marais, Paris, France.

The Hôtel Raoul no longer exists: only its street portal, an old clock and a few wrought-iron railings survive at no. 6 rue Beautreillis. The weathered stone doorway has a triangular pediment carved "HOTEL" above "RAOUL", framing tall wooden double doors covered in spray-painted graffiti. A pale beige stone building with rows of railed windows stands beside a low arched gateway with a curved pediment.

Paul Ardier, a finance officer under Henri IV, built the mansion in 1604, one of the first in Paris laid out between courtyard and garden, a model also seen at the Hôtel de Sully. In 1810 Jean-Louis Raoul (1751-1844), a file manufacturer from the Aveyron, bought it from the ruined descendants of its builder, giving it its name. It was demolished in the early 1960s, just before the Malraux law protected the Marais.

The name comes from Jean-Louis Raoul, a file manufacturer from the Aveyron who bought the mansion in 1810 from the ruined aristocratic descendants of its builder. The street portal, carved "HOTEL RAOUL", and the 1640 clock on the building at no. 6 are what passers-by still see of it.

Only the portal, an old clock and some wrought-iron railings survive at 6 rue Beautreillis; the mansion itself was demolished in the early 1960s. The portal, carved with "HOTEL" above "RAOUL", stands in the street and is covered in graffiti. The 1837 terracotta statue L'Allégorie de la Source is not outdoors: it stands in the entrance hall of the building on the site, so it can only be seen by entering.

The terracotta statue L'Allégorie de la Source, made in 1837 by Jean-François Étienne Gossin, stood in the garden basin toward rue du Petit-Musc. Collector Roxane Debuisson saved it at the demolition, and after her death it was sold on 18 March 2019; the buyer donated it, and on 29 February 2020 it returned to 6 rue Beautreillis, in the entrance hall.
