| Summary: | The hôtel de Bourvallais, located at n° 11 and 13 place Vendôme, holds a very special place among the French institutions’ history: since 1718, it never ceased to host the French Chancellery, then ministry of Justice, despite the revolutions and overturns that marked French history. Outstanding example of the sustainability of power places in Paris, the ministry hotel also constitutes an exceptional heritage for the Department of Justice. Through the patrimonialization process of the hôtel de Bourvallais, today listed historical monument, we propose to revisit the history of the iconic building which has undergone, during three centuries of continued occupation, many transformations. This heritage approach will also highlight the various hotel facilities and his interior decoration, mostly dating from the nineteenth century, which are nowadays an incredible testament of more than 300 years of Justice in place Vendôme.
