Hôtel Le Brun, Private mansion in 5th arrondissement of Paris, France.

The Hotel Le Brun features four sculpted facades and a triangular pediment displaying the Le Brun family coat of arms with a comital crown.

Charles II Le Brun, an auditor at the Court of Accounts and nephew of painter Charles Le Brun, commissioned architect Germain Boffrand for construction in 1700.

Sculptor Anselme Flamen created garden-side decorations depicting allegories of Painting and Sculpture, with Immortality presenting Charles Le Brun's portrait to Minerva.

The mansion, located at 49 Rue du Cardinal-Lemoine, now hosts immersive theater performances for families under the name Le Grand Hotel des Reves.

The building breaks from traditional Parisian architecture of its time by standing independently with four exposed facades rather than sharing walls with neighboring structures.
