After that, Henri IV briefly used it as a residence for his powerful wife, Queen Margot, whose numerous affairs gave him a headache. The bishops stopped going to the Hôtel de Sens altogether in 1622, preferring to rent it out. After the Revolution, it operated as a laundry facility, a jam factory and a glasswarehouse. By the time the city bought it in 1911, it was in poor condition; the restoration of the building — which began in 1929 — would not be completed until 1961.
