Christophe Gamard

Christophe Gamard, Gamar ou Gamart, was a 17th-century French architect who died in Paris probably in 1649. His works are apparenty all located in Paris.

We don't know much about his life. He was a master mason in 1613, a city juror in 1626 and topographer of the Abbey of Saint-Germain-des-Prés in 1627 and architect of the King in 1639.

He succeeded Claude Vellefaux as achitect of the Abbey of Saint-Germain-des-Prés. He had been his clerk and had married his daughter, Étiennette Vellefaux. He had two sons, Christophe and Hubert. Widowed, he remarried Marie Gillier in 1648.

His brother, Philippot Gamard, worked on the Hotel de Nemours, rue Séguier (), in 1620, and at houses, current rues de Sévigné and Rue des Trois-Portes () between 1616 and 1619.
