Origin and history
The Hôtel de Percy is a historic monument located in the 3rd arrondissement of Paris, specifically at 6, 8, 10 rue de Thorigny and 14, 16 rue du Parc-Royal. Its construction spans mainly between the 3rd quarter of the 17th and 18th centuries, reflecting the architectural evolutions of these periods. The building is characterized by facades on street and courtyard, as well as remarkable roofs, protected since 1964. These elements, typical of the Parisian hotels of the time, testify to the prestige associated with this type of urban residence.
The interior of the Hotel de Percy contains artistic treasures, including a cap-painted ceiling and a lounge decorated with bas-reliefs representing the seasons, located in the first floor apartment of number 10. These decorations, classified or inscribed in 1983, illustrate the refinement of the aristocratic interiors under the Old Regime and the Enlightenment. The building, although partially accessible, retains an approximate location (precision estimated at 5/10), highlighting the challenges of its preservation in a dense urban fabric.
Ranked a Historic Monument, the Hôtel de Percy embodies the Parisian architectural heritage, combining residential and artistic functions. Its inclusion in the general inventory (Merimée base) and its successive protections (1964 and 1983) attest to its historical and aesthetic value. Today, its exact use (visit, rental, residence) remains unspecified in the available sources, but its state of conservation and location make it a key witness to the urban history of Paris.
