Origin and history

Hôtel de Bérulle is a private hotel located at 15 rue de Grenelle, in the 7th arrondissement of Paris. Built during the 3rd quarter of the 18th century, it is a typical example of the Parisian civil architecture of that time. Its facades, both on street and on garden, were protected by an inscription order under the Historic Monuments on 29 March 1926, highlighting their heritage value and historical interest.

In Paris, in the 18th century, private hotels were urban residences for the aristocracy or the affluent bourgeoisie. These buildings often reflected the social status of their owners by their neat architecture and location in prestigious neighbourhoods. The Hôtel de Bérulle is in this context, illustrating the way of life and aspirations of the Parisian elites of the time, while participating in the beautification of the capital under the Ancien Régime.

Today, the Hôtel de Bérulle is located in a central district of Paris, marked by a strong concentration of historical monuments and political institutions. Although information about its access to the public or current uses is limited, its protection as a Historic Monument guarantees the preservation of its architectural heritage. Available data, from sources such as Monumentum, confirm its importance in the Parisian urban landscape, while leaving some areas of shadow, such as its detailed history or its successive owners.
