Hôtel de Chavigny, Private mansion in 4th arrondissement of Paris, France

The Hôtel de Chavigny occupies a substantial stone building at 7-9 rue de Sévigné with two levels and decorated dormer windows above them.

The mansion dates from 1265 when Charles d'Anjou initiated construction, and later François Mansart redesigned it for Léon Bouthillier de Chavigny in 1635.

The building features architectural elements including Tuscan pilasters on ground level and Ionic columns on the first floor from the 1642 renovation.

The building now functions as a fire station, continuing this purpose since 1814 when it became one of Paris's first emergency response locations.

A painted ceiling from the 17th century displaying seasonal themes remains preserved within the structure's interior.
