1. Hôtel Lulli Marker
C'est à Daniel Gittard que Jean-Baptiste Lulli confia en 1670 la construction de son hôtel. Molière lui prêta 11 000 livres pour acheter le terrain et le faire bâtir. Lulli fit sculpter sur la façade de la rue Sainte-Anne une timbale, des trompettes, des cornets, une guitare, des partitions, ses attributs de musicien, et fit somptueusement décorer l'intérieur boiseries et de peintures des écoles de de Boullongne et de Le Pautre, afin de donner à sa demeure le même luxe qu'étalaient celles des grands seigneurs du voisinage.
Resté en possession des descendants de Lulli jusqu'en 1807, l'hôtel a perdu aujourd'hui l'essentiel de sa décoration intérieure.
Hotel Lulli
It was to Daniel Gittard that Jean-Baptiste Lulli entrusted the construction of his mansion in 1670. Molière lent him 11,000 pounds to buy the land and build it. Lulli had sculpted on the façade of the rue Sainte-Anne a timpani, trumpets, cornets and a guitar, his musical attributes, and had the interior sumptuously decorated with woodwork and paintings of the schools of de Boullongne and Le Pautre, in order to give his residence the same luxury as those of the great lords of the neighborhood.
Remaining in the possession of Lulli's descendants until 1807, the hotel has now lost most of its interior decoration.
