Histoire de Paris

Hôtel de Sandreville
Sous cette appellation, il convient de distinguer deux hôtels d’époques fort différentés. Le premier a été bâti vers 1586 en fond de cour pour Claude Mortier, sieur de Soisy, notaire et secrétaire du roi. La façade sur jardin, restaurée, est la plus belle, et donne un bon exemple de l’architecture privée à Paris à la fin du XVle siècle. Le nom de Sandreville vient d’un éphémère propriétaire au temps de Louis XIll; plus célèbre est Guillaume Cornuel, époux d’une des femmes les plus spirituelles du Marais.

Le second corps d’hôtel, sur la rue des Francs-Bourgeois, a été reconstruit en 1767 pour Louis-Charles Le Mairat. La façade est déjà de style Louis XVI.

History of Paris

Sandreville House
Under this name, it is appropriate to distinguish two buildings from very different periods. The first was built around 1586 at the back of the courtyard for Claude Mortier, sieur de Soisy, notary and secretary to the king. The restored garden facade is the most beautiful, and gives a good example of private architecture in Paris at the end of the 16th century. The name Sandreville comes from a short-lived owner at the time of Louis XIll; most famous is Guillaume Cornuel, husband of one of the most witty women in the Marais.

The second building, on rue des Francs-Bourgeois, was rebuilt in 1767 for Louis-Charles Le Mairat. The facade is already in the Louis XVI style.
