Hôtel de Guénégaud
Hôtel de Guénégaud refers to one of several 17th-century hôtels particulier, or large townhouses, in Paris.
3rd arrondissement of Paris.
At 60, rue des Archives in the 3rd arrondissement of Paris, this Hôtel de Guénégaud was built between 1651 and 1655 for Jean-François de Guénégaud des Brosses, secrétaire du Roi, maître des Comptes and conseiller d'État, by François Mansart (the only hôtel particulier this architect built to have fully survived). It now houses the Musée de la Chasse
Guénégaud was created on the garden side of the hôtel. In 1670 ownership of this Hôtel de Guénégaud was transferred to one of Cardinal Mazarin's nieces, Anne-Marie Martinozzi, Princesse de Conti, and it became known as the Hôtel de Conti. The quai de Nevers became the quai de Conti, but the name of the rue Guénégaud has remained unchanged up to the present day.
