Origin and history

The building located in 10 Bir-Hakeim Square in Bordeaux is an iconic 18th century building. This monument, whose facade and roof have been protected since 1951, illustrates the civil architecture of this period in the Bordeaux region. Its listing as Historic Monuments reflects its heritage value, although its precise location remains approximate according to available sources.

The construction of this building is part of the urban context of Bordeaux in the 18th century, an era marked by an economic boom linked to the maritime trade and the beautification of the city. The facades of buildings of this period often reflect the influence of classical styles, adapted to the residential and commercial needs of an expanding bourgeoisie. The 1951 inscription underlines the importance of preserving these architectural testimonies.

Practical information on the current access or use of the building (visits, rentals, etc.) is not specified in the available sources.
