Hôtel de Lamoignon, Renaissance private mansion in Quartier Saint-Gervais, France.

The mansion features a main building with two front wings arranged around a courtyard, displaying Renaissance architectural elements on its stone facades.

Diane de France commissioned the construction between 1585 and 1590, later expanded by Charles de Valois with a north wing in 1624.

Guillaume de Lamoignon transformed the residence into a meeting place for French intellectuals, including Madame de Sévigné and Jean Racine.

The Historical Library of Paris, housed within the mansion, maintains extensive collections of documents about the history of Paris.

The mansion retains one of the last remaining decorative watchtowers in Paris, positioned at the intersection of Rue Pavée and Francs-Bourgeois.
