Jean Mansart de Jouy

Jean Mansart de Jouy (1705, Paris - 1783) was a French architect. He was also known as Mansart the Elder (Mansart l'Aîné). He and his younger brother Jacques Hardouin-Mansart de Sagonne were both bastard sons of Jacques Hardouin-Mansart by his mistress Madeleine Duguesny, later his wife but then married to Jean Maury. Their father was Jules Hardouin-Mansart, Louis XIV#s chief architect. De Jouy is most notable for his rebuilding of the entrance to the église Saint-Eustache in Paris.
