Hôtel de Ségur, Private mansion in Place Vendôme, Paris, France.

Hôtel de Ségur, also called hôtel de Courtonne, occupies no. 22 Place Vendôme, on one of the square's cut corners between the hôtel de Parabère (no. 20) and the hôtel Boffrand (no. 24). Its cream stone facade has a slightly projecting central bay crowned by a triangular pediment with carved reliefs and a round dormer above; fluted pilasters divide the upper storeys, whose windows carry wrought-iron balconies. The rusticated ground floor has arched openings with shopfronts and a blue door on the right. The building was constructed by Jacques V Gabriel and finished in 1720; its facades were partly listed as monuments historiques on 6 May 1927.

The mansion was designed and built between 1718 and 1720 by architect Jacques V Gabriel for financier John Law de Lauriston. During the siege of Paris, it served as a National Guard headquarters and subsequently housed the Grand Chancellery of the Legion of Honor.

Van Cleef & Arpels established their jewelry boutique here in 1906 and continues to operate from the premises, becoming one of the most recognizable luxury shops on the square. This presence has made the building a symbol of fine craftsmanship and elegance on Place Vendôme.

The mansion is privately owned and can only be entered on special occasions or with prior authorization, so plan accordingly if interested in visiting. You can admire the exterior architecture and the jewelry boutique display from the street level when passing through Place Vendôme.

The woodwork of the salon known as "Boffrand", carved by the joiners Taupin, Le Goupil and Desgoulons between 1720 and 1723, was moved after the Second World War to the Hôtel de Masseran at the request of Baron Élie de Rothschild. The building has belonged to the Richemont group since the 2000s, which also owns the neighbouring Hôtel Boffrand at no. 24; the two houses are not connected but form a single plot.
