Hôtel du 3 rue de Tilsitt, Private mansion near Place Charles de Gaulle, France

The Hôtel du 3 rue de Tilsitt is one of twelve hôtels des Maréchaux built from the 1850s around the place de l'Étoile, on plans by Jacques-Ignace Hittorff executed under Charles Rohault de Fleury. The neo-classical stone building rises four levels to roughly 16 metres, with rows of rectangular windows behind dark metal balconies, a grey mansard roof with dormer windows, and a courtyard entered through a tall wrought-iron gate under a curved metal-and-glass canopy.

The building was designed by architect Jacques Ignace Hittorff as part of a collection of residences for French marshals. This group of houses shaped the neighborhood and demonstrated the high status of their original occupants.

The building is one of twelve hôtels des Maréchaux, mansions built from the 1850s around the Place de l'Étoile for Napoleon III's marshals. Its address at 3, rue de Tilsitt is shared with the avenue de Friedland, avenue Hoche and place Charles de Gaulle frontages. It now houses the Embassy of Kazakhstan, so the courtyard and gate are seen from the street rather than visited.
