Hôtel de Sully - cour
The main courtyard of the Hôtel de Sully, built in the 1620s on rue Saint-Antoine, is one of the purest examples of Louis XIII architecture in Paris: pale stone façades, carved dormers and allegories of the Seasons and Elements framing the ground-floor windows.
The Duke of Sully, Henri IV's former minister, bought it in 1634 and gave it his name. Now home to the national monuments centre, the courtyard and rear garden are freely open during the day. Tip: cross the courtyard, then the garden, and take the small door at the far end, which opens straight under the arcades of Place des Vosges — a shortcut few visitors know.
