Place Beauvau is a square in the 8e arrondissement of Paris, France, at the intersection of rue du Faubourg-Saint-Honoré, avenue de Marigny and rue de Miromesnil.
It is best known for the hôtel de Beauvau, built by the architect Nicolas Le Camus de Mézières around 1770 for prince Charles Juste de Beauvau-Craon. It has housed the Ministry of the Interior since 1861, and "Place Beauvau" is often used by the French media as a shorthand for that Ministry (as, say, Downing Street is shorthand for the British prime minister). The buildings to the north of the place house the different services of this ministry.
