History

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.[3] Le Muet's hôtel was in the traditional French style, between court and garden.

In 1747 the Italian painter Paolo Antonio Brunetti decorated the grand staircase with wall paintings depicting figures in a simulated architecture.[5] These paintings can still be viewed in the Luynes Staircase at the Musée Carnavalet.

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.[6][7]

The hôtel was partly destroyed in 1868, during the creation of the Boulevard Saint-Germain. The remaining sections were demolished in 1900 to make way for the Rue de Luynes and the Boulevard Raspail.[6][7][8]
