The Hôtel de Soubise (French pronunciation: [otɛl də subiz]) is a city mansion entre cour et jardin.
His wife Anne de Rohan-Chabot, at one time mistress of Louis XIV (their affair is thought to have funded the purchase of the building), died here in 1709.
[citation needed] Interiors by Germain Boffrand, created about 1735–40 and partly dismantled, are accounted among the high points of the rococo style in France (Kimball 1943: 178).
They constituted the new apartments of the Prince on the ground floor and the Princesse on the piano nobile, both of which featured oval salons looking into the garden.
These rooms have changed very little since the 18th century, including the Chambre du prince, Salon ovale du prince, Chambre d'apparat de la princesse and the very fine Salon ovale de la princesse with gilded carvings and mirror-glass embedded in the boiserie and ceiling canvases and overdoors by François Boucher, Charles-Joseph Natoire, and Carle Van Loo.
