Hôtel de Bretonvilliers
Hôtel de Bretonvilliers, Private mansion in Quartier Notre-Dame, Paris, France
The Hôtel de Bretonvilliers is a former mansion on Île Saint-Louis with a surviving pavilion marked by arched openings and Renaissance architectural features. The structure displays typical 17th-century design with its vaulted passages and carefully detailed stone facades.
The mansion was designed between 1637 and 1642 by Jean Androuet du Cerceau for Claude Le Ragois de Bretonvilliers, a financial advisor to King Louis XIII. Most of the original structure was demolished in 1874 to make room for the Pont de Sully and Boulevard Henri IV.
The mansion interior received decorative contributions from prominent artists Simon Vouet in 1643 and Sebastien Bourdon in 1663 for the Grand Gallery.
The remaining pavilion received official historical monument status on April 1, 1986, protecting its architectural heritage. Visitors can view the building from outside, though access is limited to exterior viewing.
Most of the original structure was demolished in 1874 to accommodate the construction of Pont de Sully and Boulevard Henri IV.
