Charles François Ribart de Chamoust (fl. 1776–1783 [1]) was an 18th-century French architect.

Architectural career

In 1758, Ribart planned an addition to the Champs-Élysées in Paris, to be constructed where the Arc de Triomphe now stands. It consisted of three levels, to be built in the shape of an elephant, with entry via a spiral staircase in the underbelly. The building was to have a form of air conditioning, and furniture that folded into the walls. A drainage system was to be incorporated into the elephant's trunk. The French Government, however, was not amused and turned him down.[2][3] Napoleon would later conceive a similar construction, the Elephant of the Bastille.

Little of his work now survives.
