Discovery of the Hotel de Clermont
The Hotel de Clermont is one of the oldest private mansions in the "Noble Faubourg", a district that was born at the beginning of the 18th century on the grounds of the abbey of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, near Les Invalides. Architectural jewel built from 1708 by Alexandre Le Blond for the countess of Clermont-Lodève, it hosts in the second part of the 18th century the art collection of count Grimod d'Orsay, one of the most beautiful ever made. Extensively remodeled under the 2nd Empire by the architect Louis Visconti, future creator of Napoleon’s tomb at the Invalides, the hotel was requisitioned by the State in November 1944 and acquired from the Costa de Beauregard family in 1947. It has since hosted state services. It is today the headquarters of the Ministry of Relations with Parliament and Citizen Participation. Access: M13 Varenne Accessibility
