1. Hôtel Jean-Bart Marker
Under the reign of François I, the so-called Hôtel de l'Ermitage already existed on this site, on the corner of Rue du Temple. In 1618, it was sold to a wealthy financier, Claude Passart, who had it transformed the following year by an entrepreneur named Gabriel Soulinihac. The complex was divided into two residences: the "large" house and the "small" one, which has now disappeared, which was on the corner of Rue du Temple. In 1701, Roland Pierre Gruyn, “master of the purse”, bought them. Contrary to a persistent legend, the famous privateer Jean Bart did not stay there in 1702. In the 16th century, it was the property of a very old Parisian family: the Fraguier. Disfigured in the 19th century, the hotel has now been well restored.

The Hôtel Passart or Hôtel de Claude Passart, also called Hôtel de Jean Bart without the famous privateer having resided there, is a private mansion located at 4 rue Chapon in the 3rd arrondissement of Paris built in 1620 by the architect Gabriel Soulignac for the financier Claude Passart.(Submitted on November 14, 2024.)
The financier Claude Passart, notary and secretary to the king, trusted man of Charles I of Lorraine, bought in 1618 a medieval house at the corner of 2-4 rue Chapon and 115 rue du Temple and, in addition, land to the north towards rue des Gravilliers and had a hotel built comprising a main building perpendicular to rue Chapon between courtyard and garden, the latter extending to rue du Temple, a building on rue Chapon and another to the north of the courtyard.
The stables and carriage houses to the west of the courtyard containing the stables were replaced by a building constructed in the 19th century. Buildings were constructed during the 19th century on the western part of the garden (2 rue Chapon and 115 rue du Temple). Thehotel was used in the 19th century for industrial activities. Its restoration during the 1990s included the reconstruction of the garden façade that had been destroyed.Photographed by Andrew Ruppenstein, November 2, 20243. Hôtel Jean-Bart Marker - wide view
