Hôtel de Beaune-Semblançay, Private mansion in Tours, France.

The mansion exhibits Renaissance architecture with a gallery featuring five arches and columns adorned with slate-inlaid diamond patterns.

Jacques de Beaune, superintendent of finances for King Francis I, commissioned the mansion's construction and expansion between 1486 and 1518.

The building represents the architectural preferences of French nobility during the Renaissance period through its stone galleries and refined ornamentation.

Located at 34 rue Nationale in Tours, the mansion retains its south facade with a single-story gallery containing five bays.

The structure incorporates an uncommon architectural feature where slate diamonds are embedded within the decorative stone pilasters.
