Origin and history

The hotel of Aligre, also known as the Beauharnais hotel or the Imbercourt, is a Parisian mansion in the 7th arrondissement, built in 1681 by the mason Tape for Jacques Laugeois d'Imbercourt, a general farmer. It may replace an earlier residence on land acquired from the d'Aligre family. Its classical architecture, organized between courtyard and garden, reflects the cannons of the Great Century.

In the 19th century, the hotel was bought in 1881 by surgeon Alfred Richet, whose family (including Charles Richet, Nobel Prize winner) lived there for several generations. From 1883 to 1988, it housed the headquarters of the Revue des Deux Mondes, marking its anchor in Parisian intellectual life. In 1798 (year VII), Claude de Beauharnais completely renovated the interior decorations, entrusting the plans to architects Percier and Fontaine.

Ranked a historic monument in 1996, the hotel protects its facades, roofs, honour staircases and decorated apartments on the ground floor and first floor. Its history thus combines architectural heritage, family memory (the Richet) and cultural outreach, embodied by a major 19th century magazine.
