Hôtel de Ribault, Private mansion at Place des Vosges, Paris, France.

Hôtel de Ribault is a private mansion on the east side of Place des Vosges in the 4th arrondissement of Paris, between the Hôtel Lafont and the Hôtel d'Asfeldt. Its brick and stone facade rises three storeys above four round-arched openings, with tall windows and wrought-iron balconies on the upper floors. A stone cornice carries a steep slate roof with dormer windows, a central square clock cupola and tall brick chimneys at both edges.

The building was constructed in 1606 for Antoine Ribault, Lord of Bréau. During the French Revolution it was seized after Minister Pierre-Charles Laurent de Villedeuil emigrated from France.

The mansion carries several names from its owners: Ribault, Louvencourt, Pottier de Novion, and La Rivière, after the abbé Louis Barbier de La Rivière. Since 1963 its first floor has housed the Charles Liché synagogue, founded by Charles Liché, hazzan of the Tournelles synagogue, in the former rooms of the Cercle d'études du Marais.

Visitors can observe the exterior features including the clock tower on the roof and a commemorative plaque indicating the building's former administrative function. The location on the public square allows a clear view of the entire facade from street level.

The alcove chamber's wood paneling and ceilings by Charles Le Brun were on the first floor, not the second. Dismantled in 1867, they were restored and reinstalled at the Musée Carnavalet in 1878-1879, then restored again in 2014. Michel Dorigny also worked on the mansion's decoration.
