Histoire de Paris
Hôtel Guénégaud François Mansart a bâti cet hôtel entre 1648 et 1651 pour Jean-François de Guénégaud des Brosses, conseiller d’Etat. La sobriété de la décoration et l’équilibre des volumes caractérisent son style. Seule une utilisation systématique de refends ponctue le rythme des deux façades, avec la présence, au premier étage, d’une grande fenêtre. Celle de la façade sur jardin est une porte-fenêtre ouverte sur un balcon porté par de robustes consoles et couronnée d’un fronton. L’accès aux appartements, à l’escalier et au jardin se fait sur un seul axe: l’antichambre s’ouvre à la fois sur cour et sur jardin. L’escalier est un véritable chef-d’œuvre. Restauré, l’hôtel abrite actuellement le musée de la Chasse et de la Nature
One of the series of signs describing historical places in Paris. The signs were placed starting in 1992 and are also called sucettes Starck (Starck’s Lollipops) after Philippe Starck who designed them.
The house built between the years 1651-1655 and designed by François Mansart is designated a historical heritage site of France.
As indicated on the sign, today the hunting and nature museum is housed in the place, as can be seen on the sign on the other side of the building HOTEL DE GUENEGAUD MUSEE de la CHASSE et de la NATURE Click for a larger image

History of Paris
Hôtel de Guénégaud François Mansart built this hotel between 1648 and 1651 for Jean-François de Guénégaud des Brosses, State Councilor. The sobriety of the decoration and the balance of volumes characterize its style. Only a systematic use of partitions punctuates the rhythm of the two facades, with the presence, on the first floor, of a large window. That of the garden facade is a French window opening onto a balcony supported by robust consoles and crowned with a pediment. Access to the apartments, the staircase and the garden is on a single axis: the anteroom opens onto both the courtyard and the garden. The staircase is a true masterpiece. Restored, the hotel currently houses the Museum of Hunting and Nature
