About Pierre Le Muet
Pierre Le Muet (French pronunciation: [pjɛʁ lə mɥɛ]; 7 October 1591 – 28 September 1669) was a French architect, military engineer, and writer, famous for his book Manière de bâtir pour toutes sortes de personnes (1623 and 1647), and for the châteaux he constructed, most notably Tanlay in Burgundy, as well as some modest houses in Paris, the grandest of which, the Hôtel d'Avaux (1644–1650) survives and has recently been restored to a semblance of its seventeenth-century condition.
