Hôtel des Monnaies, Paris

The Hôtel des Monnaies is an 18th-century building located at 11 Quai de Conti in the 6th arrondissement of Paris, which has housed the Monnaie de Paris since its construction. It is considered a prime example of pre-Revolutionary French Neoclassical architecture.

The building is the masterwork of the architect Jacques Denis Antoine, who in 1765 bested Étienne-Louis Boullée and François Dominique Barreau de Chefdeville in a competition to design it. Though it was his first major civic project his design later won

him admission to the Académie royale d'architecture.
