Île-de-France

Built between 1776 and 1778 in the heart of Faubourg Saint-Germain, the Hôtel de Rochechouart has been the seat of the Ministry of Education since 1829, less than a year after its creation. For nearly two centuries, these places have been the scene of discussions and decisions that have made it possible to build, stone after stone, the school of the Republic and to give the French education system its current form. An aristocratic residence before becoming the seat of the Ministry of Education, the Hôtel de Rochechouart has experienced, since the 19th century, successive enlargements and improvements that gave it its current dimensions before a last restoration, In 2002, the facades and lounges were restored to their original appearance. One discovers, among others: - the large salon of pure Louis XVI style, office of the minister and former office of Jules Ferry from 1879 to 1883 , where was born the republican school, secular, free and compulsory (the room has kept its original decor
