Origin and history

The building in the 18th place of Parliament in Bordeaux, built in 1754, is part of a homogeneous architectural complex characteristic of the 18th century. The square, formerly called Place du Marché Royal, forms an irregular quadrilateral where the buildings share a common ordinance: commercial ground floor, two noble floors, and a third treatise in attic. The ensemble is crowned by a balustrade cornice and a attic, all made of cut stone. The keys of yousures are decorated with carved masks and shells, while each window is equipped with wrought iron balconies, reflecting the craftsmanship of the era.

The protection of this building was formalized by an order of 17 April 1952, classifying its façade and roof as historical monuments. This architectural setting illustrates the urbanisation and beautification of Bordeaux in the Enlightenment century, during which time the city, carried by its port and commercial activity, acquires special places and hotels reflecting the prosperity of its elites. The accuracy of its current location is estimated as fair (note 5/10), based on available data.

The sources also mention that the exact address, 18 place of Parliament, corresponds to cadastre F 638. No information is provided on the opening of the building to the public, the visit, or any contemporary reassignment of the building. The data comes mainly from the Merimée database and Monumentum, supplemented by visual observations such as photos licensed under Creative Commons.
