Place Beauvau

Place Beauvau is a public square defined by its proximity to the centers of French power. It takes its name from the Hôtel de Beauvau, an elegant neoclassical mansion built in seventeen seventy for Charles Juste de Beauvau, a prince of the Holy Roman Empire and a marshal of France. The mansion was designed by the architect Nicolas Le Camus de Mézières, who utilized a distinct Doric colonnade that still characterizes the building today.
