Origin and history

The Hôtel de Laubespin is a historic monument located at 78 rue de l'Université in the 7th arrondissement of Paris. Built during the 3rd quarter of the 18th century, this mansion is distinguished by its typical architecture of this period, marked by the elegance and refinement of Parisian aristocratic residences. The facade on garden, a remarkable architectural element, was inscribed in the Historical Monuments by decree of 14 December 1955, thus highlighting its heritage value.

The construction of this hotel is attributed to two masterpieces: Jean Charles Hocquart and Pierre Salle, whose names are associated with other architectural projects of the time. Today, the Hotel de Laubespin belongs to a private company, which limits its access to the public, but attests to the sustainability of its residential or institutional use since its construction.

The location of the hotel, in a central district of Paris, reflects the historical importance of this area, marked by the presence of many noble residences and institutions. The 7th arrondissement, in particular, concentrates a rich architectural heritage, illustrating the urban and social evolution of the French capital in the 18th century. The accuracy of its location, assessed as fair, nevertheless allows to situate the monument in a still partially preserved environment.

The available sources, including Monumentum and the internal data of the Merimée database, provide precise information on the legal protections and architectural features of the hotel. These elements contribute to a better understanding of its history and its role in the Parisian urban landscape. The Creative Commons license associated with certain photographs also facilitates the distribution of its image, enhancing its reputation among the general public.
