The inscription "Hôtel de Lausun 1657" is placed on black marble above the portal . The painting of the rooms comes from the artists Sébastien Bourdon , Charles Le Brun , Eustache Le Sueur and Pierre Patel . In 1682, Antonin Nompar de Caumont , Duke of Lauzun, bought the building that was named after him.
The poet Charles Baudelaire lived from 1843 to 1845 in a small attic apartment in the house “with a view of the inner courtyard”. His friend Théophile Gautier lived in the same house.
