Hôtel de Chaulnes, Private mansion in Place des Vosges, Paris, France.

The Hôtel de Chaulnes consists of two brick and stone pavilions extending over eight arcades at number 9 Place des Vosges in Paris.

The mansion, built in 1607 by Pierre Fougeu d'Escures, served as an observation point for Louis XIII during the 1612 carrousel celebrating his engagement.

The first floor of the building houses the French Academy of Architecture since 1967, preserving architectural heritage through its continued presence.

Visitors can reach the exterior of the mansion via metro stations Saint-Paul or Bastille, with the building facing the central square of Place des Vosges.

The mansion retains its original grand staircase and former duchess chamber, which features 18th-century cornices and gypsum decorations.
