Origin and history

The building located at 15 rue de Condé in the 6th arrondissement of Paris is a representative 18th century civil building. Its construction is part of the urban development of the capital under the Ancien Régime, a period marked by the beautification of the central districts and the emergence of a refined residential architecture. Although the details of its sponsor or architect are not mentioned in the available sources, its classification as Historic Monument in 1962 underscores its heritage interest, particularly in its street façade and roof, elements protected by decree.

The location of this building, in a district now known for its historical and cultural heritage, reflects the importance of this area since the 18th century. At that time, Paris was experiencing significant demographic and economic growth, attracting an affluent population that had private hotels and report buildings built. These buildings, often organized around inner courtyards and with neat facades, illustrate the social status of their owners as well as the aesthetic codes of the time. The inscription of this building under the title of Historic Monuments contributes to the preservation of this architectural heritage, witness to the transformations of the city.

Available sources, including the Merimée and Monumentum base, indicate that the exact address of the building is 15 rue de Condé, although a GPS approximation also places it near Rue Crébillon. This minor inconsistency in the precise location does not call into question its identification, confirmed by the Insee code of the commune (75106) and its attachment to the Île-de-France region. No information is provided on its current accessibility to the public, including visits, rentals or accommodation.
