Origin and history

The Titon Hotel is a private hotel built in 1776 by architect Jean-Charles Delafosse for Antoine-François Frémin, a lawyer at the Paris Parliament. Located at 58 rue du Faubourg-Poissonnière, it illustrates the architectural style of the late eighteenth century, with interior and exterior elements typical of the aristocratic residences of the period. His acquisition in 1783 by Jean-Baptiste-Maximilien Titon, an adviser to Parliament, marked a milestone in his history, now associating his name with this monument.

The building, completely renovated between 2006 and 2007, was listed as a historical monument on 25 October 2007 for its facades, roofs, stairs and interior decorations, including rooms with ceilings decorated with Empire or putti motifs. At the back, the Paradis city replaced the old gardens, reflecting the urban evolution of the neighborhood. The hotel preserves remains of its various construction campaigns, including three stairs serving the wings and a body of house combining 19th century decorations and original elements.

Representative of Parisian private hotels that have lost their family residential vocation, Hotel Titon is now a private property. Its protected elements include the cochère door, the pass-by with its vases, as well as five remarkable rooms on the ground floor, one with a ceiling with caissons and another decorated with a celestial fresco surrounded by a stone balustrade. These details highlight its heritage importance in the 10th arrondissement.
