The Hotel de Clermont is one of the oldest mansions of the «Noble Faubourg», a district that was born in the early eighteenth century on the grounds of the abbey of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, near the Invalides.
Architectural jewel built from 1708 by Alexandre Le Blond for the Countess of Clermont-Lodève, it hosts in the second part of the eighteenth century the art collection of Count Grimod d'Orsay, one of the most beautiful ever realized. Largely remodeled under the 2nd Empire by the architect Louis Visconti, future creator of the tomb of Napoleon aux Invalides, the hotel was requisitioned by the State in November 1944 and then acquired from the Costa de Beauregard family in 1947. It hosts since state services.
It is now the seat of the Ministry of Relations with Parliament.
