Hôtel d'Avaray, Private mansion in 7th arrondissement, Paris, France.
The Hôtel d'Avaray stands at 85 Rue de Grenelle, featuring classical architecture with ornate facades and traditional French design elements throughout the structure.
Built between 1718 and 1723 by architect Jean-Baptiste Leroux for Claude-Théophile de Béziade, the mansion remained in the Béziade d'Avaray family until 1920.
The interior of the mansion contains Belgian tapestries and 17th-century Dutch paintings, reflecting the blend of French and Dutch artistic influences.
The building currently serves as the residence of the Netherlands Ambassador to France and opens to the public during European Heritage Days.
The mansion once housed the smallest painting in Paris, measuring only 2 by 3 centimeters, which was accidentally painted over during renovations.
