Despite modernization, many historic sites were left intact including some hôtels particuliers or private mansions. This entrance, which looks similar today, led into the courtyard for the “petit hôtel de Guiche,” built in the 1700s, which adjoined the larger “hôtel de Guiche.” Fragments of those buildings have been incorporated into the modern structures that now occupy the land behind the portal. The houses were named for the de Guiche family, aristocrats that occupied them in the mid- 1700s. Their son was guillotined in 1794 following the French Revolution.
