Hôtel de Mézières

The Hôtel de Mézières, also known as Château Goguel, is an 18th-century mansion in Eaubonne, Val-d'Oise, northwest of Paris. Constructed in 1766-1767 by architect Claude-Nicolas Ledoux as part of an ambitious urban planning program commissioned by war commissioner Joseph Florent Le Normand de Mézières, this historic building exemplifies refined neoclassical design. Enhanced with original gardens, a dovecote, and an orangery, the estate served as the town hall from 1913 to 1976. Today, the Hôtel de Mézières functions as a cultural venue, hosting exhibitions of visual arts and housing the Charles-Perrault Institute dedicated to youth literature studies. Its designation as a historic monument preserves its architectural significance for public appreciation and educational purposes.
