The Hôtel d'Angoulême Lamoignon is a hôtel particulier, or grand private house, in the Le Marais district of the 4th arrondissement of Paris, at the corner of number 24 rue Pavée and the rue des Francs-Bourgeois. Its nearest Metro stop is Saint-Paul. Since 1969 it has been the home of the Bibliothèque historique de la ville de Paris.
History
It was built in the Renaissance style from 1584 onwards by Diane de France, legitimised daughter of Henry II of France and the young Filippa Duci from Piedmont. An archival discovery of 1984 has shown that Louis Métezeau was the architect. The house was previously attributed to Baptiste Androuet du Cerceau on stylistic grounds.[1]
