Hôtel de Lannion, Private mansion in 7th arrondissement, France

The Hôtel de Lannion is a private mansion at 75 Rue de Lille, built in 1754 by architect Jean Damun. Its light stone street facade has four storeys, round-arched ground-floor openings, tall windows with wrought-iron balconies, and a dark grey mansard roof with dormers. The garden facade is symmetrical around a three-sided projecting section framed by double Ionic pilasters.

Built in 1754 by architect Jean Damun for Jacques Hocquart, treasurer general of the artillery, and the banker Pierre Salles, it was designed from the start as a rental property. It was leased to the Count of Lannion, who gave it its name. The street-side building and carriage door burned during the Paris Commune and were replaced in 1898 by Frédéric Honoré's building.

The interior displays decorations from the Louis XV period with fine stucco work and elegant rooms that reflect how wealthy Parisians lived during the 1700s.

The building received monument historique protection status in two phases during the 1950s and remains a protected structure. Access is limited since it operates as a private residence.

The building has a twin: the Hôtel de Laubespin at 78 Rue de l'Université, built on the same plot in 1754 as a rental property. The street-side block and its carriage door burned during the Paris Commune and were replaced in 1898 by Frédéric Honoré's building, the facade seen today.
