"Hôtel Hérouard du Mesnil" was once owned by a nobleman at the court of Louis XIII. This charming duplex is located in the most prestigious part of the Marais, on the third and top floor of an authentic and magnificent *hôtel particulier*, just 100 meters from the Place des Vosges and 150 meters from the Île Saint-Louis. Tucked away in a unique corner location, the apartment is situated in a very quiet and charming setting in the heart of Paris—specifically the historic Marais, in its most intimate and authentic area: Rue Beautreillis. The neighborhood is served by two Metro stations: Line 1 and Line 7. It is surrounded by bus stops and all kinds of supermarkets; Thursday morning is the “Sunday” of the Place de la Bastille, where you’ll find Paris’s largest market. Located on the third and top floor, the apartment is flooded with light, and all the windows overlook the courtyard, where a magnificent central tree is sure to capture your imagination. Hôtel Hérouard du Mesnil (11 Rue
Beautreillis) – Origins: It was during the first half of the 17th century that the Hérouard (or Héroard) du Mesnil
family—prominent Parisians with close ties to the Court, including Pierre Hérouard, a councilor and secretary to the King (Louis XIII)—established their Parisian residence on this street. Evolution: Much like the rest of the neighborhood following the French Revolution and throughout the 19th century, the street’s grand aristocratic mansions were gradually subdivided, raised in height, and converted into rental properties, apartments, or artisan workshops.
