Histoire de Paris

Hôtel Lulli
C’est à Daniel Gittard que Jean-Baptiste Lulli confia en 1670 la construction de son hôtel. Molière lui prêta 11 000 livres pour acheter le terrain et le faire bâtir. Lulli fit sculpter sur la façade de la rue Sainte-Anne une timbale, des trompettes, des cornets, une guitare, des partitions, ses attributs de musicien, et fit somptueusement décorer l’intérieur de boiseries et de peintures des écoles de Boullongne et de Le Pautre, afin de donner à sa demeure le même luxe qu’étalaien tcelles des grands seigneurs du voisinage.

Resté en possession des descendants de Lulli jusqu’en 1807, l’hôtel a perdu aujourd’hui l’essentiel de sa décoration intérieure.

History of Paris

Hôtel Lully
It was to Daniel Gittard that Jean-Baptiste Lulli entrusted the construction of his hotel in 1670. Molière lent him 11,000 pounds to buy the land and build on it. Lulli had a timpani, trumpets, cornets, a guitar, sheet music, his musical attributes carved on the façade of rue Sainte-Anne, and had the interior sumptuously decorated with woodwork and paintings from the schools of Boullongne and Le Pautre, in order to give his residence the same luxury as those of the great lords of the neighborhood.

Remaining in the possession of Lulli’s descendants until 1807, the hotel has today lost most of its interior decoration.
