Global Architecture - Paris France 2017 Hotel de Sully, Paris, France. A formal courtyard garden with low trimmed hedges and a wide gravel path leads to a historic stone mansion, while a few people walk through and a small group of pigeons gathers on the ground.

The long facade is symmetrical, with tall multi-pane windows framed by carved stone and a strong horizontal rhythm across two main levels. A steep dark slate roof rises behind it with dormer windows, large chimneys, and pavilion-like roof forms, giving the building a solid, aristocratic presence.

The pigeons are small gray birds with darker wing markings, walking and pecking along the open courtyard surface. They commonly live around city buildings and gardens, feeding on seeds and food scraps, and they often move in groups while foraging.
