Hôtel de Basquiat, 18th-century private mansion in central Bordeaux, France.

The neoclassical building features ionic pilaster capitals on its garden facade and a carriage entrance leading to an inner courtyard.

Architect François Lhote designed this residence between 1778 and 1781 for Joseph de Basquiat de Mugriet, a parliament counselor.

The mansion serves as the official residence and reception venue for the rector of the Bordeaux Academy since 1960.

Located at 29 Cours d'Albret in Bordeaux, the building stands among numerous cultural and administrative institutions.

The square garden contains a central sculpture called The Lily Cutter, created by Henri Bouillon in 1896.
