Origin and history

The city of Antin is a private road in the 9th arrondissement of Paris, opened in 1829 by the company Delaunay. It was built on the site of part of the Montesson Hotel, built between 1769 and 1772 by the architect Brongniart for the Marquise de Montesson. This hotel, later occupied by Austria's ambassador Schwarzenberg, was the scene of a tragic fire in 1810 at a ball celebrating Napoleon I's marriage with Marie-Louise.

The city is home to several landmarks, including the siege of the French Rugby Federation after 1945, as well as the location of the former Bal des Nègres, replaced in 1852 by the chapel Saint-André-d'Antin. In issue 31, a famous closed house, decorated in 1930 by painter Henri Mahé, was attended by employees of Galeries Lafayette, founded by Théophile Bader, one of his owners.

Some architectural elements, such as the pump and the monumental door of 59 rue de Provence, have been protected since 1927 and 1977. The city also served as the setting for the film Peur sur la ville (1975) by Henri Verneuil, with Jean-Paul Belmondo. Its name comes from its proximity to Rue de la Chaussée-d-Antin, reflecting its anchor in the Parisian history of the 19th century.
