Hôtel de Breteuil, Private mansion in 16th arrondissement, France

The Hôtel de Breteuil features a grand balcony on the first floor supported by consoles and windows decorated with mascarons opening onto reception rooms.

Architect Ernest Sanson constructed this residence between 1892 and 1902 for Henri Le Tonnelier de Breteuil, who served as a monarchist deputy for Hautes-Pyrénées.

The mansion incorporates Louis XV woodwork and paintings by artist Louis Lagrenée, reflecting the refined architectural preferences of French aristocracy at the time.

The building contains both modern and classical elements, including an elevator and dumbwaiter while maintaining traditional French classical design principles.

During World War II, the mansion functioned as the headquarters for the State Secretariat before becoming the Embassy of Ireland in 1954.
