Hôtel de Galliffet

The hotel was built from 1776 to 1792,^[1] for Alexandre de Galliffet, the President of the Parlement of Aix-en-Provence who also built the Château du Tholonet in Le Tholonet. It was designed by Etienne François Legrand.^[2]

Subsequently, the hotel was the residence of Minister Charles-François Delacroix, and thus the childhood home of General Charles-Henri Delacroix and painter Eugène Delacroix.^[1] It was later the residence of Charles Maurice de Talleyrand-Périgord, who served as the Prime Minister of France in 1815.^[1]

In 1972 the building was used as the Italian embassy.^[3] The hotel is now home to the Italian Cultural Institute in Paris.^[1]
