Hôtel de Choiseul-Praslin, Private mansion in 6th arrondissement of Paris, France.

The Hôtel de Choiseul-Praslin features baroque architecture with decorated facades, roofing, and multiple interior rooms in Louis XV style at rue Saint-Romain.

Built in 1732 by architect Sulpice Gaubier for the Countess of Choiseul, the mansion underwent major transformations in 1876 under architect Eugene Rouyer's direction.

The building served as the French National Savings Bank headquarters from 1886 and later housed the Postal Museum from 1946 to 1973.

The protected elements include the courtyard facades, roof, entrance hall, several salons, and the neo-gothic chapel, which remain closed to regular visitors.

The interior decorations combine diverse architectural periods, incorporating neo-gothic, neo-renaissance, and 18th-century elements through painted and sculpted ornaments.
