Hôtel de Chimay, Private mansion at Quai Malaquais, 6th arrondissement of Paris, France.

The Hôtel de Chimay stands along the Seine River with a classical French architectural design featuring symmetrical windows and ornate stone carvings.

Built in 1635 as Hôtel de La Bazinière, the mansion underwent modifications by architect François Mansart between 1653 and 1658 for royal treasurer Macé Bertrand.

Marie Anne Mancini organized gatherings in the mansion during the 1680s, bringing together writers and artists including Jean de La Fontaine and Molière.

The building now functions as part of the Beaux-Arts de Paris, located at 17 Quai Malaquais, where art education programs take place.

Charles Le Brun and André Le Nôtre collaborated on interior decorations during the mansion's golden age under the ownership of the Duke of Bouillon.
