Hôtel de Sens - Gothic Library

Spoiler alert! This is one of the stops in my Kings and Queens Walk in the Marais area of Paris! This beautiful medieval mansion was built for the Archbishop of Sens in 1475!

This is one of the rare Gothic architecture remaining in Paris. Do not be mislead by the photos, the place has suffered some severe destruction in the last five centuries...

You can easily visit the place as it now houses the Forney Library, specialised in decorative arts, professions and techniques... Or better still, you can simply join my Absolute Monarchy tour and hear more about it!
