Antoine d'Aumont, 1st Duke of Aumont[2] (1601 - 1 January 1669) was a French nobleman who was created the 1st Duke of Aumont in 1665 by King Louis XIV[3] who had already created him a Marshal of France in 1651. His dukedom went extinct in 1888 after the death of the 10th Duke of Aumont Louis Marie Joseph d'Aumont[4] The Duke commissioned the construction and exstention of what became the Hôtel d'Aumont which was painted by Charles Le Brun[5] and gardens designed by André Le Nôtre[6] and in 1938, was purchased by the City of Paris, and restored and classified as a monument historique. Since 1959 the tribunal administratif of Paris has been housed in it. A radical restoration of the decayed framework was completed in 1964.[7]
