Victor Louis (10 May 1731, Paris – 2 July 1800, Paris) was a French
architect, disqualified on a technicality from winning the
Prix de Rome in architecture in 1755.[1]
Life
He was born Louis-Nicolas Louis in Paris.[2] He did not adopt the name Victor until after he returned from a trip to Poland in 1765.[3] In 1770 he married the pianist and composer
Marie-Emmanuelle Bayon. They had a daughter, Marie-Hélène-Victoire, in 1774.[4] A full biography of Victor Louis was published by Charles Marionneau in Bordeaux in 1881.[5]
