Hôtel Talhouët

Hôtel Talhouët is a private mansion on Avenue de Marigny that is protected as a historic monument and contains elaborately designed interior spaces. Protected elements include the facades, roofs, entrance, a staircase with wrought iron railing, dining room, and decorated reception rooms.

Construction took place in 1861 as a residence for textile industrialist Mathieu Dollfus, founder of the company Dollfus-Mieg et Cie. Architect Auguste Joseph Pellechet designed the building, which reflects the wealth and refinement of 19th-century Paris.

The mansion was originally known as Hôtel Dollfus and took its current name from the Talhouët family who lived there until the 1970s. The name reflects the different owners who shaped this residence over time.

The mansion is located on Avenue de Marigny and can be reached via the Paris Métro lines 1 and 13 at Champs-Élysées - Clemenceau station. From this central station, it is just a few minutes walk to the building.

American novelist John Steinbeck lived in this mansion for several months in 1954, leaving a literary connection to its history. This connection shows how the residence attracted writers and artists passing through Paris.
