During the regency of Marie de' Medici many hotels were put up in Paris, particularly in the Marais of which the finest surviving examples are the Hôtel de Chalon-Luxembourg and the Hôtel de Sully.
The Hôtel de Chalon-Luxembourg, built about 1625-26, consists of a narrow building in brick and stone standing behind a court, the entrance to which is formed by a magnificent door which belongs to an earlier phase of building work. This is a fine example of the more fantastic style which was current in Paris at the period.
