Such big doors you have!
The Hôtel Tubeuf or Hôtel Duret-de-Chevry is a hôtel particulier located at 8 Rue des Petits Champs in the 2nd arrondissement of Paris. It was built in 1635 to the designs of the French architect Jean Thiriot for Charles Duret de Chevry, president of the Chambre des Comptes.
I didn't know it was part of BnF.
The Hôtel Tubeuf is now part of the complex of the Bibliothèque Nationale de France (‘French National Library’), and houses the departments of prints and photographs and of maps and plans. This building is one of the last and most splendid examples in Paris of brick-and-stone architecture (popular in France in the early 17th century). After the affluent ‘middle-class’ begun to use this combination (brick and stone) in their homes, the aristocracy then moved completely to the exclusive use of stone. The LOUISIANA TREATY was signed here on 30 April 1803.
