Hôtel de Nesmond, 17th-century private mansion in 5th arrondissement, France.

The Hôtel de Nesmond, located at 55-57 quai de la Tournelle, displays facades and roofs that exemplify 17th-century French architectural design.

In 1643, François-Théodore de Nesmond, president of the Paris parliament, commissioned architect François Mansart to completely redesign this residence.

The building now serves as the headquarters of La Demeure Historique association, which focuses on preserving French historical residences.

The entrance doors, facades, and roofs of the buildings surrounding the courtyard received historical monument protection status in October 1962.

During the 19th century, this aristocratic residence transformed into an absinthe distillery, marking a complete change in the building's purpose.
