Garden of the Hôtel de SoubiseGermain Boffrand

211
This garden belongs to the Hôtel de Soubise, residence of the Rohan-Soubise family and later seat of the National Archives. Redesigned in the 18th c. by architect Germain Boffrand, it combines formal elegance with leafy intimacy. Lawns, flower beds, and winding paths soften the aristocratic façades, creating a rare haven of calm in the historic Marais while preserving the memory of its noble past.
