Hôtel de Montalivet, Private mansion in 7th arrondissement of Paris, France.

Hôtel de Montalivet is a private mansion at 58 rue de Varenne in the 7th arrondissement. Its light beige street facade has rusticated joints on the lower section, a large arched doorway with light blue double doors, and carved stone corbels flanking the arch. A long balcony with black wrought-iron scrollwork runs above, fronting tall white-framed windows; a small plaque reads "36".

Built in 1736 and 1737 for Marguerite Paule de Grivel d'Orrouer, marquise de Feuquières, the hôtel was designed by Pierre Boscry and decorated by his father Charles Boscry, with ornamentist Nicolas Pineau, of whose work no trace appears to remain. From 1764 the La Rochefoucauld-Liancourt family occupied it, followed in the 19th century by the Calmann-Lévy family; Count Eugène-Auguste Caffarelli died there in 1878. The street facade was altered in the 19th century, and the State acquired the building in 1947, making it an annex of the Hôtel de Matignon opposite.

The residence reflects how wealthy Parisian families arranged their homes, with tall rooms, carefully placed windows, and a layout that balanced formal display with living space. The decoration and room proportions show what Paris nobility considered a refined way of life.

The exterior can be viewed from the street, but parts of the building are not open to visitors since it is a protected structure. The entrance faces the street, and the surrounding area of the 7th arrondissement is easy to explore, especially if you want to see the neighborhood's other historic properties.

Noted decorator Nicolas Pineau worked on the interior decoration, though his original contributions are no longer visible in the building. This reflects how the home's interior has evolved and been altered over the centuries since its creation.
