*

Originally built in 1637 by Guillaume Bautru, Comte de Serrant, the building was a private mansion designed by the architect Louis le Vau. In 1652, it was sold to Jean-Baptiste Colbert, Louis XIV's famous minister, and then to Philippe d'Orléans in 1719.

In 1806, it was occupied by the State Debt Fund, until it was sold in 1825. The mansion was then demolished to make way for the current building and the opening of the Galerie Colbert in 1828, which was to compete with the Galerie Vivienne.

Under Louis-Philippe, a novelty shop called ‘Au Grand Colbert’ opened its doors.

The name was retained until 1900, when it was converted into a restaurant.

At the instigation of the Bibliothèque nationale de France, the owner of the premises, it was renovated in all its original details in 1985, at the same time as the Galerie Colbert. This large room, with its impressive architectural volume and six-metre walls, contains remains of no less than two of the most ancient buildings in France.
