Hôtel de La Salle in Reims, Renaissance private mansion in central Reims, France.

The Hôtel de La Salle is a two-storey Renaissance mansion on rue du Docteur-Jacquin in Reims, built from pale ashlar with a dark slate roof. Its symmetrical facade has five round-arched dormers across the top plus a sixth at far left, six two-light transomed windows on the upper floor, and three ground-floor openings: a central wooden door flanked by round-arched glazed double doors behind fanlights. Moulded stringcourses divide the floors, and a carved stone figure stands in a niche between the upper windows.

Henri Choilly, a Reims burgher and cloth merchant, began building the mansion from 1545. It passed through successive names — Hôtel des Sacqs de la Hérissandière, then Hôtel de la Cloche Perce — before taking the name of the family that bought it in 1609. In 1650 it still housed the de La Salle family of magistrates, and on 30 April 1651 Jean-Baptiste, eldest of ten children, was born here.

The mansion was the birthplace of Jean-Baptiste de La Salle in 1651, who established a community dedicated to Christian education. This connection shapes how the building is used and perceived today.

The building now houses a research center and library managed by a religious community. Visitors can explore the history of this educational organization through a museum route in the space.

Although the building suffered severe damage during World War I, it was completely restored in 1920 and its architecture carefully preserved. This reconstruction saved many original details that remain visible today.
