The Hôtel d'Alluye is a Renaissance-era private mansion in Blois, France, built between 1498 and 1508 for Florimond Robertet, secretary and notary to Louis XII, and named after his barony of Alluyes. Situated on Rue Saint-Honoré near Blois Cathedral and the Château de Blois, it stands as one of the first examples of Renaissance architecture in the city, its façades blending Gothic, French Renaissance, and Italian Renaissance styles. Originally much larger, the building has been substantially diminished by successive demolitions—the west wing began destruction in the seventeenth century and the north wing was razed in 1812—leaving only the east and south wings in their original state. The Robertet family retained ownership until 1606, after which frequent changes of hands led to considerable alterations. Classified as a historical monument in 1929, the hôtel has been subdivided into ten apartments and offices since 2007, with its courtyard opened to the public during European Heritage Days from 2011 onward.
