Hôtel d'Hallwyll, Private mansion in Quartier Sainte-Avoye, Paris, France.

The Hôtel d'Hallwyl stands at 28 rue Michel-le-Comte, featuring Italian Renaissance architecture with symmetrical facades and Doric column galleries surrounding an atrium garden.

Built between 1766 and 1770 by architect Claude Nicolas Ledoux, this residence became the birthplace of influential writer Madame de Staël in 1766.

The mansion served as a gathering place for literary and political figures during the late 18th century when banker Jacques Necker resided there.

The protected monument includes visible facades, roofs from rue Michel-le-Comte and rue de Montmorency, internal staircase, and original garden decoration elements.

The building's stables were designed to accommodate eighteen horses, demonstrating the grand scale of private mansions in 18th-century Paris.
