The rue Guénégaud was created on the garden side of the hôtel. In 1670 ownership of this Hôtel de Guénégaud was transferred to one of Cardinal Mazarin's nieces, Anne-Marie Martinozzi, Princesse de Conti, and it became known as the Hôtel de Conti. The quai de Nevers became the quai de Conti, but the name of the rue Guénégaud has remained unchanged up to the present day.
