Hôtel de Chenizot, Private mansion in Île Saint-Louis, Paris, France.

The Hôtel de Chenizot stands at 51-53 Rue Saint-Louis-en-l'Île, featuring decorated facades and an ornamental balcony designed by architect Pierre Vigné de Vigny.

Jean-François Guyot de Chenizot acquired the property in 1719 and initiated major renovations that transformed the previous seventeenth-century residence into its current form.

The building served as the residence of Archbishop Denys Affre in 1846, becoming a temporary episcopal palace during a period of ecclesiastical importance.

The mansion, now divided into private residences, remains closed to public access, though visitors can observe its architectural details from the street.

René Guénon, a French metaphysician and writer, maintained an apartment within the Hôtel de Chenizot from 1904 until 1930.
