The hôtel de Beauvau
The Place Beauvau is best known for the hôtel de Beauvau, built by the architect Nicolas Le Camus de Mézières around 1770 for the prince, Charles Juste de Beauvau-Craon. In 1859, the French government purchased the building and installed the French governor-general of Algeria there. However, Victor Fialin, the duke of Persigny, who was Minister of the Interior under Napoléon III, arranged for his ministry to be moved from the Rue de Grenelle, in the 7th arrondissement, to this location.
The hôtel de Beauvau has housed the Ministry of the Interior since 1861, and "Place Beauvau" is often used by French news-gathering organizations as shorthand for that Ministry (as, say, one might use "Downing Street" in referring to the British prime minister.) The buildings to the north of the square are devoted to various services of the ministry.
