## Commentary

In Lunéville, where Mansart had worked on several occasions, the old château was rebuilt in 1703 by Boffrand, then completely renovated, partly under his own supervision, starting in 1719. It featured an immense courtyard formed by wings flanking a central pavilion, with a portico pierced by three ground level arches, and boasted the usual virtuoso elements like a grand staircase and chapel. The photo shows the château and courtyard.
