Île-de-France

In 1575, Médéric de Donon acquired plots of land to immediately build his house. The new owner belongs to a family originally from Ile-de-France. General Controller of the King’s Buildings, he married Joan della Robbia, daughter of the sculptor Girolamo della Robbia. He lived in the hotel until his death, which remained in the Donon family until 1640\. The hotel then became the property of the Le Mairat family, who kept it until 1798\. On that date, it was awarded to Bourgois-Hénault of Tourneville. The heirs of the latter still owned it in 1930\. Like many buildings in the Marais, during the 19th and early 20th centuries, the Donon Hotel was used for commercial purposes and disfigured by lean-to apartments; Eugène Atget’s photographs bear witness to this state. The City of Paris acquired it in 1974 and restored it to present the collections of the Cognacq-Jay museum.
