Origin and history

The Hotel Thuriot de la Rosière, located at 10 rue des Lions in the 4th arrondissement of Paris, is a mansion built in the 2nd quarter of the 17th century. Its original sponsor, Gaspard de Fieubet, Chancellor of the Queen, had it built in 1646. The building illustrates the aristocratic residential architecture of the era, with cutting stone elements and an honor staircase adorned with a finely carved wooden ramp.

In the 18th century, the hotel passed into the hands of Cardinal de Fleury, who made notable changes, including the addition of a wing on the posterior façade. These transformations reflect the evolution of the tastes and needs of elites under the Old Regime. Ranked Historic Monument in 1968, the building is protected for its former hotel, excluding subsequent 19th century additions. Its staircase and interior decorations still bear witness to the splendor of Parisian residences of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.

The hotel's location in the historic Marais district reinforces its heritage interest. Although its geographical accuracy is considered satisfactory a priori (note 6/10), it remains a remarkable example of Parisian aristocratic urban planning, between inner courtyards and facades on street. Available sources, such as the Mérimée and Monumentum base, confirm its status as a protected building, without specifying its current accessibility to the public.
