The "Facade of Porte and Hotel de Nesle" refers to the architectural design of the entrance and façade of the Hôtel de Nesle, an important historical building in Paris, France. Designed by the prominent French architect Louis Le Vau, this work is an example of French classical architecture during the 17th century. Louis Le Vau is renowned for his significant contributions to French Baroque architecture and for being one of the architects who worked on the expansion of the Palace of Versailles under the reign of Louis XIV.

The Hôtel de Nesle, originally built in the 13th century and located on the left bank of the Seine, was known for its medieval architecture and its tower, which was part of the city's defensive walls. In the 17th century, the building underwent significant renovations under the direction of Louis Le Vau. The new façade of the Hôtel de Nesle was designed to reflect the contemporary tastes and grandeur of the period, showcasing the elegance and symmetry characteristic of classical architecture.

Le Vau's work on the Hôtel de Nesle is noted for its harmonious proportions, the use of classical orders, and the integration of sculptural decoration. The façade would have featured a grand entrance, possibly with a porte-cochère, allowing carriages to pass through, and an impressive hotel (townhouse) that signified the wealth and status of its occupants.

Unfortunately, the Hôtel de Nesle no longer exists as it was demolished in the 18th century, and thus, the "Facade of Porte and Hotel de Nesle" by Louis Le Vau survives only in historical records and architectural drawings. The site where the Hôtel de Nesle once stood is now part of the Boulevard Saint-Germain, and the legacy of the building and its façade lives on through the history of Parisian architecture and the enduring influence of Louis Le Vau's architectural style.
