The Ministère de la Culture's notice

L'hôtel d'Epernon formait à l'origine, avec l'hôtel d'Amboise, un seul édifice construit pour le cardinal Georges d'Amboise. Sans doute vers 1573, l'hôtel fut divisé en deux parties, dont l'une fut habitée par le duc d'Epernon qui lui laissa son nom.

The hôtel d'Epernon originally formed, with the hôtel d'Amboise, a single building constructed for Cardinal Georges d'Amboise. Probably around 1573, the hôtel was divided into two parts, one of which was inhabited by the duc d'Epernon who left it his name.
