Built in en 1628 by the architect François Mansart for Jean Jacquelin, the superintendent of the King’s Buildings. In 1725, the Hôtel became the property of Nicolas-François de Mydorge whose daughter married the Comte d’Hallwyl. In 1766 and 1767, it was embellished by the architect Claude-Nicolas Ledoux ; it is one of the rare surviving works in PARIS.
