Hôtel Schneider, Private mansion in the 8th arrondissement of Paris, France.

The Hôtel Schneider stands at 137 rue du Faubourg-Saint-Honoré, a 4,200 m² private mansion built in 1860. Its light stone facade has a blank rectangular panel framed by moulding; to the left a dark blue door sits in a stone archway with a small red circular sign beside it, and to the right a tall dark blue double door with rounded panels fills an arched surround topped by a carved stone crest. A dark slate roof section rises above the central panel.

Built in 1860 for Marquis Auguste de Talhouët-Roy, the residence became the property of Henri Schneider, director of the Le Creusot ironworks, in 1881. This change in ownership reflects how wealth and influence shifted from the old aristocracy to industrial magnates during this period.

The mansion carries the name of Henri Schneider, of the Le Creusot ironworks family, who acquired it in 1881 from Marquis Auguste de Talhouët-Roy, its first owner. The change of name marks the passage of a Second Empire townhouse from aristocratic to industrial hands. Visitors on the street can spot the carved stone crest above the tall blue double door on the right.

You can view the mansion from the street and see its facade and entrance on Rue Faubourg-Saint-Honoré. For detailed information about the protected architectural elements, reference materials are available at the Heritage and Photography Media Library in Charenton-le-Pont.

The building was inscribed as a monument historique on 6 March 1980, not listed in full: the protection covers the parts of the hôtel particulier judged worth keeping. Its 4,200 m² made it one of the larger private residences on the rue du Faubourg-Saint-Honoré when it was built in 1860.
