Hôtel de Seignelay, Private mansion in Invalides, France.

The Hôtel de Seignelay stands at 80 rue de Lille, featuring twin facades and five floors of refined architectural elements from the early 18th century.

Constructed in 1713 by architect Germain Boffrand, this residence belonged to Charles Colbert, grandson of Jean-Baptiste Colbert, before changing owners through centuries.

The grand salon, modified between 1757 and 1766 under architect Pierre Mouret, represents the final expressions of French Rocaille interior design.

The building sustained fire damage in 2022, with ongoing restoration efforts focusing on preserving its historical elements, including the surviving grand staircase.

The mansion's strategic location near the Seine River influenced its elongated plot design, resulting in distinctive spatial arrangements uncommon in Parisian architecture.
