A 17th century private mansion in the heart of Châlons-en-Champagne. From the street, the residence is marked by its high slate roofs, which extend beyond the surrounding walls pierced by two oculi. A monumental gateway marks the entrance: a carriage door with a lowered arch and alternating bossages, adorned with a bas-relief and guarded by a monster head sculpted in the keystone. Its wrought iron gate, now motorized, reveals glimpses of the courtyard. Once the threshold is crossed, the paved honor courtyard unveils a classic style building, raised in 1648, the very year of the Peace of Westphalia treaties. True to the model of a mansion between courtyard and garden, it extends on one side with a wing set at right angles to the street. The chalk of the walls, highlighted by limestone in the frames, bands, and corner chainings, gives the facades their clarity. A high slate roof with long broken slopes, placed on a stone cornice, is animated by dormer windows with a semicircular shape and gendarme hat dormers in the gable. On both the courtyard and garden sides - facing west, high bays filled with small-paned windows rhythmically pattern the façades with regularity, while the building concedes only rare openings to the street. Seven stone steps lead to the double glass door, at the junction of the two parts of the building. The ground floor, over 4 meters high under the ceiling, gathers the reception rooms around a vestibule from which a suspended staircase from the Restoration period rises. The upper floors, narrower with their nearly 3.40 meters in height, house salons and offices, up to the attics where an exposed oak frame covers a vast room of about 95 m². Following are offices as well as an independent apartment. In total, around 560 m² is distributed over fifteen rooms.
