Hôtel de Sagonne, Private mansion in Quartier de l'Arsenal, Paris, France.

The Hôtel de Sagonne is a private residence at the rue des Tournelles and boulevard Beaumarchais with two contrasting facades. The street side presents a simple appearance while the garden side displays ornate details including Ionic columns and elaborate architectural features.

Jules Hardouin-Mansart built this residence between 1667 and 1670 to commemorate his marriage, before becoming King Louis XIV's First Architect in 1681. The mansion was constructed during the peak period of French classical architecture.

Interior decorations by notable painters such as Michel Corneille II remain visible within the rooms. These works reflect the artistic standards of wealthy Parisian households during the 1600s.

The building has been converted into private apartments and is closed to public visits. Visitors can only view the exterior facades and architectural details from the street.

Original allegorical paintings from the 1600s were discovered in 1924 hidden behind false ceilings installed during earlier renovations. This accidental preservation reveals how previous occupants unknowingly protected portions of the original interior design.
