Hôtel de Chevreuse

[1] The Hôtel de Chevreuse was constructed in 1660 for Marie de Rohan, Duchess of Chevreuse, by the architect Pierre Le Muet,[2] whose designs were engraved by Jean Marot and published in the Grand Marot in 1686.

[4] In 1747 the Italian painter Paolo Antonio Brunetti decorated the grand staircase with wall paintings depicting figures in a simulated architecture.

The apartment of Charles Louis d'Albert de Luynes, Duke of Chevreuse and Governor of Paris, was remodeled in 1767 by Pierre-Louis Moreau-Desproux.

His boiserie and fireplace from the former chambre de parade of the Duke of Chevreuse was bequeathed in 1962 to the Musée du Louvre by the widow of the French industrialist Pierre Lebaudy [fr] and was refurbished and reinstalled in the Department of Decorative Arts in 2013.

The remaining sections were demolished in 1900 to make way for the Rue de Luynes and the Boulevard Raspail.
