Le Pautre has planned a deep corps-de-logis on the rue Saint-Antoine, with shops on the ground floor and a porte-cochère (a covered entrance large enough for vehicles to pass through) in the middle leading to a circular vestibule where the visitor got out of his coach and walked into the staircase on the left. Beyond this main block is a court ending in a sort of apse, from which the coach-house opens, while to the right a covered way leads out beside the stables to the rue de Jouy. The photo shows the courtyard. View the ground plan of the Hôtel de Beauvais. | |
