Origin and history

The Hôtel d'Aumont, located at 2-2bis rue Caumartin and 30 boulevard des Capucines in the 9th arrondissement of Paris, is an emblematic monument whose construction periods extend from the last quarter of the 18th century to the third quarter of the 19th century. This mansion, typical of the Parisian architecture of its time, has undergone transformations that reflect the stylistic and urban evolutions of Paris between these two centuries. Its partial inscription in the Historic Monuments in 1977, covering the facade and roof on street (with the exception of the building closing the courtyard), bears witness to its recognized heritage value.

The project managers identified for this building are Aubert and Grapillard, although their respective roles and details of their interventions are not specified in the available sources. The hotel's location, close to the major Parisian boulevards, suggests integration into the Haussmann urban fabric, while preserving earlier architectural elements. The accuracy of its geographic location is assessed as fair (note 5/10), which may indicate minor uncertainties about its exact location in heritage databases.

The Hôtel d'Aumont, like many Parisian private hotels, embodies the prestige and lifestyle of the aristocracy or the wealthy bourgeoisie in the 18th and 19th centuries. These urban residences served as both a place for social representation and a family setting, often organized around courtyards and gardens. Their preservation today offers a tangible testimony to the architectural and social history of Paris, although the contemporary uses of these buildings (residential, professional or cultural) are not always documented in heritage sources.
