Hotel de Clévans, Private mansion in La Boucle, Besançon, France.

The Hotel de Clévans exhibits a main facade decorated with pilasters and a triangular pediment, representing the architectural elements of eighteenth-century residences.

Built in 1741 for Joseph Lebas de Clévans, a parliament counselor in Besançon, the building was converted into military headquarters in 1818.

The interior decorations of the mansion demonstrate Parisian architectural influences, particularly in its similarities to the Hotel de Matignon.

Located at 4 rue du Général Lecourbe, the building maintains a historical room covered with graffiti from World War II.

During 1943 and 1944, the mansion served as Gestapo headquarters before General de Lattre de Tassigny occupied it after liberation.
