In March 1646, the queen-mother made marshal de Villeroy governor of Louis XIV, under Mazarin's authority chosen as "surintendent for the government and conduct of the king".

In 1640 Nicolas de Villeroy built a hôtel particulier on 34 rue des Bourdonnais in the center of Paris in the district of les Halles.

It has a second entrance from 9 rue des Dechargeurs The beautiful courtyard of the building was frequently visited by the young King Louis XIV who lived in the nearby Palais Royal and played there as a child with his brother Philippe of France.

[4] Part of it is today used by the International Exposition center Cremerie de Paris which hosted in June 2012 the Nike Barber Shop.

The Barber Shop was the centre of the advertisement campaign of the US company Nike, Inc. Information tours are organised every month giving the public the possibility to discover the staircase and the courtyard of the Hotel de Villeroy.
