Origin and history

The hotel of Cavoye, built in 1630 for Paul Bailly, chaplain of the king, reportedly welcomed in 1640 lawyer Hugo Grotius, exiled to France. His history was marked by major transformations: in 1679 Louis Oger de Cavoye acquired it and made it decorated by Jules Hardouin-Mansart and Antoine Lepautre. In 1686 Daniel Gittard rebuilt the house body and portal for the Marquis de Cavoye and his wife, Louise Philippe de Coëtlogon. Louis Oger de Cavoye died there in 1715, sealing his connection with this place.

In the 19th century, the hotel changed hands several times before being sold in 1923 to Madame Lehr, an American millionaire. In the 20th century, it houses the magazine Futuribles and then became the property of Hubert de Givenchy in 1981. In 1986, Bernard Tapie bought 100 million francs as his principal residence, retaining it despite pressure from Crédit Lyonnais. Tapie died there in 2021, shortly before his acquisition by François Pinault for 80 million euros, which then began its restoration.

Ranked a historic monument since 1949 for its facades, roofs, gate and interior decorations (including the large living room), the hotel combines 600 m2 of living space and 1,000 m2 of gardens. Its architecture reflects the fascists of the 17th century in Paris, while its recent history illustrates its appeal to influential personalities, from intellectuals to businessmen.

Available sources, including Wikipedia and Monumentum, highlight its heritage importance, with major architectural contributions from Gittard, Hardouin-Mansart and Lepautre. The exact address, 52 rue des Saints-Pères, and its location in the 7th arrondissement make it a privileged witness to the evolution of the Saint-Germain-des-Prés district.

The Hotel de Cavoye thus embodies almost four centuries of history, from 17th century royal circles to contemporary real estate transactions, while preserving an exceptional architectural setting. Its protection as historical monuments guarantees the sustainability of this emblematic Parisian heritage.
