Timeless Hotel

“It was a pied-à-terre belonging to the Comtesse du Perche. This mansion was subsequently given to the “Capucins” monks, then sold as national property in 1794. Remains of the convent persist at the bottom of its park.
In 1860, during the construction of the neighboring street and the construction of adjoining houses, the pretty “Manart” style roof which still makes the character of the north facade was unfortunately replaced on the street by a floor in the “romantic” style. , up to date.
The hotel belonged to the “comte de Montreuil” before being acquired in 1895 by General Prax who had commanded the Prytanee college from 1888 to 1892.
This officer was, as a municipal councilor, one of the main architects of the installation of the town hall at “le château des Carmes”.
Between this building and the Templery stretched a vast park of the “Capucins”convent, the magnificent trees of which can still be seen (Tilia, yews, Sequoia, etc.)
