Hôtel de La Vaupalière
Hôtel de La Vaupalière, Private mansion in 8th arrondissement, France
The neoclassical Hôtel de La Vaupalière features white and gold wood paneling, ornate stucco decorations, and a central staircase at 85 rue du Faubourg-Saint-Honoré.
Architect Louis-Marie Colignon constructed this residence in 1768 for Pierre Maignart, Marquis de La Vaupalière, who paid 11,000 livres annual rent.
The mansion hosted the first reading of Beaumarchais' The Marriage of Figaro in 1783, with philosophers and intellectuals gathering in its salons.
Currently serving as AXA insurance company headquarters, the building stands near Franklin D. Roosevelt metro station in central Paris.
Designer François-Joseph Graf restored the interior while architect Ricardo Bofill integrated a metal and glass structure connecting surrounding office buildings.
