Hôtel de Beauvais is located at 68 Rue François-Miron, 75004 Paris, in the southern part of the historic Marais district. Visitors travelling from Orly Airport should provide this exact address when arranging their transfer. Despite its name, Hôtel de Beauvais is not tourist accommodation: it is a 17th-century private mansion currently occupied by the Administrative Court of Appeal of Paris.
The building stands near Rue Saint-Antoine and Saint-Paul metro station, within a compact network of historic streets. This location affects airport arrivals because a vehicle must approach the correct section of Rue François-Miron rather than simply reaching the wider Marais neighbourhood. Visitors carrying luggage should confirm whether their driver can stop near number 68 or whether a short final walk will be necessary.
For information about airport access throughout the district, consult our airport transfers in Le Marais. The present destination requires particular attention to its historic street entrance and the absence of conventional hotel reception services.
Designed by architect Antoine Le Pautre and built from 1655 for Catherine-Henriette Bellier and Pierre de Beauvais, the mansion represents the aristocratic architecture of 17th-century Paris. Bellier, nicknamed Cateau la Borgnesse, was associated with the court of Anne of Austria. The property incorporated land previously connected with the medieval Abbey of Chaalis.
On 26 August 1660, prominent members of the royal court watched the ceremonial entry of Louis XIV and Marie-Thérèse into Paris from the building. Classified as a historic monument in 1966, Hôtel de Beauvais later underwent restoration before becoming the seat of the administrative court in 2004. Visitors should verify any arrangements for entering the building, as its present institutional function limits ordinary tourist access.
Architecture and practical access to Hôtel de Beauvais in Le Marais
Rue François-Miron is the essential reference for reaching Hôtel de Beauvais. This street runs through the Saint-Paul area, close to Rue Saint-Antoine, one of the principal routes connecting central Paris with Bastille. The surrounding road layout includes narrow streets and local circulation arrangements that can affect the final approach of taxis and private vehicles.
Drivers should check current directions and stopping conditions before entering the immediate neighbourhood. A location shown close to the destination on a map does not necessarily provide a suitable unloading point. For groups, families with children or passengers carrying several suitcases, agreeing on a precise meeting location can prevent confusion upon arrival.
The architectural layout also explains the building’s distinctive entrance. Le Pautre adapted an aristocratic residence to an irregular urban plot, creating a courtyard and ceremonial spaces within limited surroundings. The entrance vestibule includes Doric columns, while the historic grand staircase features elaborate sculptural decoration. Former facilities included stables, a chapel and a raised garden, reflecting the original residential purpose rather than present-day visitor services.
Saint-Paul metro station on Line 1 is a useful public transport reference. It provides connections towards Châtelet, Bastille and other central Paris interchange points. Travellers arriving by metro must complete the final section on foot through the surrounding streets. The suitability of this option depends on luggage, mobility requirements and the station access available on the day.
Place des Vosges and Hôtel de Sully provide nearby historical reference points, while Maison de Victor Hugo is located on Place des Vosges. These destinations help visitors recognise the neighbourhood but should not replace number 68 Rue François-Miron in a transport reservation. A driver collecting passengers after a visit should receive an agreed street meeting point rather than an approximate landmark.
Unlike an operating hotel, Hôtel de Beauvais does not provide guest check-in, overnight accommodation or a dedicated luggage service. Travellers should arrange baggage storage through their actual accommodation if they intend to visit the monument between airport arrival and hotel check-in.
Airport transfers from Orly, CDG and Beauvais to Hôtel de Beauvais
Orly Airport is the principal departure airport covered by this journey. Located south of Paris, it provides road access towards the central districts and the Marais. A taxi or pre-booked private vehicle can take passengers directly towards Rue François-Miron, subject to traffic conditions and the availability of a suitable stopping point near Hôtel de Beauvais.
For a booked airport pickup, provide the flight number, arrival terminal, passenger count and luggage requirements. Travellers should confirm whether the driver meets them inside the terminal or at an assigned collection area. The destination must be identified as the historic Hôtel de Beauvais, not a tourist hotel or Paris-Beauvais Airport.
Public transport provides another possibility from Orly. Metro Line 14 serves the airport and connects with central Paris. Travellers can change to Line 1 towards Saint-Paul, then walk to Rue François-Miron. This can suit passengers travelling independently with manageable luggage, although transfers and station access should be considered before choosing the route.
Charles de Gaulle Airport lies northeast of Paris. RER B connects the airport with central Paris, where passengers can reach Metro Line 1 through the Châtelet interchange and continue towards Saint-Paul. A direct taxi or private vehicle avoids these changes but remains dependent on traffic conditions and the final approach into the Marais.
Paris-Beauvais Airport is considerably farther from the capital. Its airport coach services provide an alternative to a direct road transfer, but visitors must check the current coach terminus and arrange onward travel to Saint-Paul. The shared name creates a potential misunderstanding: Beauvais Airport and Hôtel de Beauvais are separate destinations in different locations.
Travellers comparing transport options should consider the complete journey rather than the airport connection alone. Rail services may be convenient for solo passengers and couples with light luggage. Taxis and private vehicles can simplify travel for families, groups and visitors with heavy bags. Passengers requiring accessible transport should confirm vehicle specifications and the final drop-off arrangements in advance.
For travel from CDG to central Paris, consult the existing CDG airport transfer service. For journeys in the opposite direction, the private transfer to CDG Airport provides a separate booking option. Always check the selected departure and arrival locations before confirming a reservation.
Travellers arranging additional journeys to historic buildings can consult the private vehicle services in Paris. These journeys should be organised separately when additional stops or waiting periods are required.
For departures from Hôtel de Beauvais, confirm the vehicle meeting location and allow sufficient time to reach the correct airport terminal. The most important destination detail remains 68 Rue François-Miron, 75004 Paris, near Saint-Paul in the Marais district.
