Origin and history

The Hôtel de Montmorency is a private hotel located in the 6th arrondissement of Paris, at 4 rue de Tournon. Built in the 4th quarter of the 18th century, it is a typical architectural example of this period, with characteristic elements of Parisian hotels of the time.

The monument has been listed as a Historic Monument since 21 May 1986, protecting remarkable elements such as its monumental door, facades, vestibule, staircase of honor, and several apartments and interior rooms. These protections concern both the common parts and certain private parts, stressing the richness of its architectural heritage.

The architect or contractor identified is Lemonnier, although little additional information is available on his/her precise role in the design of the hotel. The location of the building, in a central district of Paris, reflects its historical importance and its integration into the urban fabric of the time.

The accuracy of the current location is considered passable (note of 5/10), and the official address corresponds to that recorded in the Merimée database. No information is provided on its current accessibility (visits, rental, accommodation) or on its contemporary use.

Available sources, including Monumentum, confirm its status as a protected heritage, but do not detail its social history or its successive occupants. The hotel is part of the landscape of Parisian private hotels, often linked to the aristocracy or the affluent bourgeoisie of the eighteenth century.

In Paris in the 18th century, private hotels such as Montmorency served as urban residences for elites. They were designed to combine comfort, social representation and proximity with power centers. These buildings often reflected the artistic tastes and architectural innovations of their time, while playing a role in the worldly and cultural life of the capital.
