History

In the XVII century, a house street Saint-Honoré belonging to the Jesuits was given to the "Ladies of the Assumption" who transformed it into convent by undertaking constructions for which they called on to the architect Charles Errard.
The latter stays then in Rome and, keen on Italianism, his project is inspired by the Antiquity, by the Renaissance with, however, a personal note. His Roman obligations will prevent him from watching the execution of the building, the load of which will be assured by Mr Chéret. Further to the criticisms lifted by his construction, Charles Errard will accuse the latter of having modified his plans.
It is in the convent of the "Ladies of the Assumption", situated in the no 263 street Saint-Honoré that withdrew certain Court Ladies under the old regime. It was transformed into barracks during the Revolution, in 1793.
