Origin and history

The 18th century Pavillon, nicknamed "Paillon de Julienne", is an isolated vestige of a private hotel that is now gone. Located at 20 rue Lebrun in the 13th arrondissement of Paris, it illustrates the garden pavilions designed as places of retirement and leisure for the aristocracy or the affluent bourgeoisie. Its architecture, though modest, reflects the aesthetic codes of the eighteenth century, with a recreational vocation marked by its location at the bottom of a garden.

In the 19th century, the pavilion underwent major transformations with the installation of a chemical factory, profoundly altering its original appearance. Subsequent owners have undertaken restorations to restore its original appearance, although the sources do not specify the exact dates of this work or the methods used. This monument, registered in the inventory of Historic Monuments since 1962, remains today a private property, without documented public access.

The pavilion is distinguished by its complete state of conservation, rare for this type of construction. His history is closely linked to that of Julienne's hotel, of which he was a secondary element. Unlike another Parisian building with the same name (located on Rue Berbier-du-Mets), this pavilion was not rebuilt or moved, thus preserving its authenticity. The archives mention its inscription as "hotel sis 20 rue Lebrun" in the parcellaire plan of Paris, highlighting its historic anchoring in the neighborhood.

The location of the monument, noted as "passable" (note 5/10) in the databases, suggests uncertainties about its exact location or its boundaries. The photographs available, under Creative Commons license, show a discreet building, typical of the madnesses or pleasure pavilions that punctuated the Parisian gardens before the industrial revolution. No information confirms its current use (visits, rentals, etc.).
