Hôtel de la Marine

The Hôtel de la Marine (French pronunciation: [otɛl d(ə) la maʁin]), also known (formerly) as the Hôtel du Garde-Meuble ([otɛl dy ɡaʁdəmœbl]), is a historic building on the Place de la Concorde in Paris, just east of Rue Royale. It was designed by the architect Ange-Jacques Gabriel and built between 1757 and 1774 on the newly created square first called Place Louis XV. The identical building across the street, constructed at the same time, now houses the Hôtel de Crillon and the Automobile Club of France.
The Hôtel de la Marine was originally the home of the royal Garde-Meuble, the office managing the furnishing of all royal properties. Following the French Revolution it became the Ministry of the Navy, which occupied it until 2015 (as part of the Ministry of Defence).
