About
Built in 1620, during the reign of Louis XIII, the hôtel Claude Passart stands at 4 rue Chapon, in the heart of the Marais. It is sometimes called the hôtel de Jean Bart, though the famous privateer never actually lived there.
Built for a financier close to the halls of power, it illustrates the sober, orderly architecture of early 17th-century mansions.
The mansion was built in 1620 by the architect Gabriel Soulignac for Claude Passart, a financier, notary, and secretary to the king. It was listed as a historic monument by decree on February 28, 1984.
The facade has five bays across three stories; the windows on the second floor are topped with triangular pediments. The north wing features a gallery lined with paired Doric columns.
Restored and inhabited by the decorator Juan Pablo Molyneux, who rebuilt the garden facade and all of the interiors, the mansion also houses the offices of its owner's company.
