On the courtyard side, the façade dressed in slits is centered on a portico resting on four Corinthian columns.

The use of the colossal order (the columns embrace two levels) was one of the characteristics of Ledoux's early works.

It is framed by two Doric columns loaded with trophies and warrior emblems (the Duke of Uzès being a well known military man).

[2] In 1824, the hôtel was acquired by the banker Jules Paul Benjamin Delessert, founder of the Groupe Caisse d'Epargne, but also a politician and botanist.

[5] While the hôtel was demolished, the paneling from the salon, an early example of the neo-classical style, largely carved by Joseph Métivier and Jean-Baptiste Boiston to the designs of Ledoux, is preserved in the Carnavalet Museum, Paris.
