Hôtel de Raguse

Hôtel de Raguse is a historic mansion in Paris’s tenth arrondissement, with a porte cochère opening onto a courtyard. Two wings once framed that space beneath mansard roofs. A circular building now marks the centre, a distinctive feature of Jallier de Savault’s redesign.

Claude-Martin Goupy acquired the land before architect Munster constructed two mansions there in 1779. Paul-Louis de Thélusson and his brothers commissioned major changes in 1788. They added a floor, replaced the gallery, and created a round salon later decorated by Charles Percier around 1800. In 1814, Marmont and Michel Fédorovitch Orlof signed Paris’s capitulation inside these rooms.

Jean-Frédéric Perregaux later gave the property as Hortense’s dowry to the Duke of Raguse. A ceramics factory occupied the mansion among other businesses during the late nineteenth century. The grand salon chimney and First Empire decoration in the second salon gained historic-monument protection in 1927. Large windows illuminate the protected interior decoration, despite alterations and an added storey in 1930.
