Mollet’s best-known work was the Hôtel d'Evreux (1718; now the Palais de l'Elysée), Paris. This building was originally designed for Louis-Henri de La Tour d'Auvergne, Comte d'Evreux, and since 1849 it has been occupied by the presidents of France. It has been modified, by Étienne-Louis Boullée in 1773 and by Joseph-Eugène Lacroix in 1853-1867. After the Battle of Waterloo, Napoléon returned to the Élysée and signed his abdication there on 22 June 1815.
