Plan of the staircase

The H�tel d’Aumont was built as the seat of the ducs d’Aumont. It is sited south of the Marais in Paris. In 1648, an earlier structure was rebuilt and extended by Louis Le Vau to create the present structure. At around 1660, it was enlarged and enriched by Fran�ois Mansart, who inserted a grand new staircase in the right wing, replaced the stairs in the corner pavilion, and provided it with decors painted by Charles Le Brun and Simon Vouet.
