Origin and history

The Hotel de Montalivet is a Parisian mansion built in 1736-1737 for Marguerite Paule de Grivel d Designed by architect Pierre Boscry and decorated by his father Charles Boscry as well as by ornamentalist Nicolas Pineau, no evidence of their work remains today. The street façade, on the other hand, underwent modifications in the 19th century, altering its original appearance.

From 1764, the hotel was occupied by the La Rochefoucauld-Liancourt family, then in the 19th century by the Calmann-Lévy. Count Eugène-Auguste Caffarelli lived there until his death in 1878. At the beginning of the 20th century, it housed the Montalivet and George W. Vanderbilt, before being acquired by the state in 1947. Since then, he has served as an annex to the Hotel de Matignon, the seat of the Presidency of the Council and then of the Prime Minister.

Ranked historic monument by decree of 18 October 1993, the building protects its facades and roofs (outside the 19th century), the rooms of the first floor of the building on street, as well as the vestibule and main staircase of the ground floor. These elements testify to its original architecture and decor, despite subsequent transformations.

The hotel is distinguished by its history linked to aristocratic and bourgeois families, reflecting the social and political evolutions of Paris from the 18th to the 20th century. Its acquisition by the State in 1947 marked its integration into the French institutional heritage, while preserving its architectural heritage.
