1825 Beaux Dauphin Demolished Originally Plessis Rebuilt Roger Runs Sieur

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image transports us back in time to 17th century Paris, specifically to the site of the former Hotel Liancourt, originally known as the Hotel Dauphin. The hotel was rebuilt around 1620s by Roger Du Plessis, sieur de Liancourt, a nobleman and diplomat, who was known for his extravagant taste and love for the arts. The grandeur of the hotel is reflected in the ornate facade and the lush gardens that surrounded it. The Hotel Dauphin stood proudly on the rue des Beaux-Arts in the 6th arrondissement, a location that was then considered the heart of the artistic community in Paris. The street's name itself is a testament to the area's rich cultural heritage. Unfortunately, the Hotel Liancourt did not last forever. It was demolished in 1825, and today, the rue des Beaux-Arts continues to run on the site where the once magnificent hotel once stood. The history of the Hotel Liancourt serves as a reminder of the ever-changing landscape of Paris and the ephemeral nature of human creations. This photograph, from the Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to imagine the grandeur and elegance of the Hotel Liancourt and the Paris of the 17th century. The intricate details of the facade, the vibrant colors of the gardens, and the bustling streets of Paris come alive in this image, transporting us to a time long gone.
