Hôtel de la Païva

The Hôtel de la Païva (French pronunciation: [otɛl d(ə) la paiva]) is an hôtel particulier, a type of large townhouse in France, which was built between 1856 and 1866, at 25 Avenue des Champs-Élysées by the courtesan Esther Lachmann, better known as La Païva (hence its name). She was born in modest circumstances in a Moscow ghetto, to Polish parents. By successive marriages, she became a soi-disant Portuguese marchioness and a Prussian countess, this last marriage supplying the funds for the hôtel, at which she gave fabulous feasts.
