Origin and history

The hotel of Claude Trutat, also called Hotel Quatremère de Quincy, is a Parisian mansion located at 14 rue de Condé, in the 6th arrondissement. Built around 1631 for Jacques Gontier, adviser to the Paris Parliament, it illustrates the aristocratic architecture of the early seventeenth century. Its current name comes from Claude Trutat, notary at the Châtelet, who occupied it in the 18th century and left its decorative imprint there.

In the 19th century, the hotel was marked by prestigious residents, including architect and politician Antoine Chrysostom Quatremère de Quincy, who died there in 1849. The facades, redesigned at the beginning of the 19th century, contrast with the preserved interior, where there remains a 17th century ceiling and a living room decorated with oak panelling. The greyish upper doors, painted by Joseph-Ignace-François Parrocel in 1776, bear witness to the refinement of Claude Trutat's era.

The entrance gate, of Empire style, and the classified interior elements (ceiling, living room, circular cabinet) by order of 15 February 1949 underline the heritage value of the building. The hotel also housed figures such as Eugène Müntz, Academician, and Henry de Jouvenel, Minister and Senator, strengthening his anchor in French cultural and political history.
