Attraction in Paris

You're standing at the Hôtel de Soubise, on Rue des Francs-Bourgeois in the 3rd arrondissement of Paris. Don't let the word hôtel fool you. Nobody ever checked in here. This is a noble family's city mansion, built to the classic formula: a courtyard in front, the house in the middle and a garden behind. Have a look across the forecourt at the façade.
