An ''hôtel particulier'' () is a grand townhouse, comparable to the Townhouse (Great Britain), British townhouse or mansion. Whereas an ordinary ''maison'' (house) was built as part of a row, sharing party walls with the houses on either side and directly fronting on a street, an ''hôtel particulier'' was often free-standing and, by the 18th century, would always be located ''entre cour et jardin'' – between the ''cour d'honneur'' (an entrance court) and the garden behind. There are ''hôtels particuliers'' in many large cities in France. Etymology and meaning The word ''hôtel'' represents the Old French "hostel" from the Latin ''hospitālis'' "pertaining to guests", from ''hospes'', a stranger, thus a guest.Cassell's Latin Dictionary The adjective ''particulier'' means "personal" or "private". The English word ''hotel'' developed a more specific meaning as a commercial building accommodating travellers; modern French also uses ''hôtel'' in this sense. For example, the H ...
