'''Hôtel de Nevers''' is a building in Paris, which was build on the site of the present day [[Hôtel des Monnaies, Paris|Hôtel des Monnaies]] (1768).

The Hôtel de Nevers<ref>This Hôtel de Nevers should not be confused with one on the right bank on the rue de Richelieu which was part of the Palais Mazarin and was later incorporated into the old [[Bibliothèque Nationale de France]]; see also French Wikipédia [[:fr:Hôtel de Nevers (rue de Richelieu)|Hôtel de Nevers (rue de Richelieu)]]. A garden gallery of the latter hôtel had been designed by François Mansart ca. 1644–45 and was originally part of the immediately adjacent [[Hôtel Tubeuf]], to which Mansart also made alterations; see also French Wikipédia [[:fr:Hôtel Tubeuf (rue des Petits-Champs)|Hôtel Tubeuf (rue des Petits-Champs)]]. Of Mansart's designs only the exterior, and not the interior, of the garden gallery survives in somewhat altered form, with crossed quivers and garlands typical of Mansart visible above the upper windows (Braham and Smith 1973, pp. 70–73, 223–226, plates 318, 319; [[:File:BnF - Richelieu - building on Vivienne courtyard.JPG|photo at Commons]]).</ref> (on the quai de Nevers, just east of the [[Tour de Nesle]]) was purchased in 1646 by [[Henri de Guénégaud]] and transformed by the architect [[François Mansart]] into the Hôtel de Guénégaud in 1648–1652, [[hôtel particulier]], or large [[townhouse]].

The rue Guénégaud was created on the garden side of the hôtel. In 1670 ownership of this Hôtel de Guénégaud was transferred to one of [[Cardinal Mazarin]]'s nieces, [[Anne Marie Martinozzi|Anne-Marie Martinozzi, Princesse de Conti]], and it became known as the Hôtel de Conti.<ref>Braham & Smith 1973, pp. 237–241.</ref> The quai de Nevers became the quai de Conti, but the name of the rue Guénégaud has remained unchanged up to the present day.
