The Hôtel de Beauvais in Paris was designed by the royal architect Antoine Le Pautre for Catherine Beauvais, a lady-in-waiting to Anne of Austria. Construction began in 1657, and the infobox gives completion in 1660, which the text does not confirm. The style is an eclectic French Baroque. Bands of rusticated stone run across a symmetrical facade, and false walls and windows create that symmetry on an irregular site.
A cour d'honneur with an oval courtyard leads to a circular vestibule and a grand staircase. A medieval vaulted cellar is the only remnant of earlier Cistercian-owned buildings.
It was divided into 40 apartments in 1800 and housed a school and a maternity clinic until 1987. It is now the seat of the Administrative Court of Appeal of Paris, mostly closed except for public hearings and heritage days. The article gives no regular hours.
