Hôtel de Nevers, Private mansion in 2nd arrondissement, France.

The Hôtel de Nevers stands on rue de Richelieu with three remaining sections of its original facade displaying classical French architectural elements.

Built in 1646 by architect Pierre Le Muet, this mansion formed part of Cardinal Mazarin's palace before becoming a separate residence after his death in 1661.

During the early 18th century, the Marquise de Lambert established a salon where writers and intellectuals gathered to discuss literature and politics.

The remaining section of the building belongs to the National Library of France and can be viewed from rue Colbert at coordinates 48.8682N, 2.33837E.

Three original bays of the mansion survived the 1859 demolition ordered by Napoleon III, preserving a fragment of 17th-century Parisian architecture.

Location: 2nd arrondissement of Paris
