TEC4710932: L'Hotel de Sully, 62 rue Saint-Antoine (Saint Antoine), Paris 4. Architecture by Jean Androuet du Cerceau (1585-1649), 1625-1630. The hotel de Sully was built between 1625 and 1630 by the master macon Jean Notin, on plans of Jean I Androuet du Cerceau, for the financier Mesme-Gallet. Sully became owner on 23 February 1634. He lived there and passed it on to his family. Henri IV's Superintendent of Finance will lavishly decorate his new home, without staying there assiduously. The hotel was sold to Benoit Turgot de Saint-Clair in 1752, before becoming the property of the family of Boisgelin 1771. Today it houses Monum, the former National Historic Monument Fund. / Bridgeman Images
