Sully-Hôtel, a beautiful mansion, now the “Centre des monuments nationaux”

Between courtyard and garden, the Hôtel de Béthune-Sully is one of the most beautiful private mansions in Paris. Located in the heart of the Marais district, this 17th-century monument was the residence of Maximilien de Béthune, Duke of Sully, Superintendent of Finances under Henry IV. Since 1967, it has been home to the headquarters of the Centre des Monuments Nationaux. The main courtyard houses its information center. The bookshop is open to all. Located in the large lower hall, it features a painted beamed ceiling. The garden, originally designed as an embroidery of plants, leads to the Place des Vosges. It is not open to the public, but visitors can cross the courtyard and garden during opening hours to access the Place des Vosges.scriptif
