The Haussonville Mansion

It is built of two main sections set at an angle. The Haussonville Mansion dates back to the 16th century and is one of the most beautiful houses in the Old City. One can admire two particularly gracious galleries, one of open-stonework in the gothic style running along the first floor, and the other in the renaissance style along the second. It now houses a luxury four-star Hotel.A classical statue of Neptune decorates the fountain in the courtyard and the wooden door to the stairway is a remarkable example of Trompe-l'oeil.

Admire the facade opening onto the courtyard; its beautiful balustrades were carved in two different periods, Flamboyant Gothic and Renaissance. The mansion also has a beautiful trompe l’œil or optical illusion doorway.Named after the priest who built Saint-Epvre's Basilica, Rue Monseigneur Trouillet has a number of beautiful mansions, in particular, the Haussonville Mansion.
