Origin and history

The bakery-pastry located at 56 rue Vaneau, in the 7th arrondissement of Paris, was installed in 1910, shortly after the building was built. This artisanal trade, typical of the early twentieth century, is distinguished by its carefully preserved interior, laminated with marble and decorated with bronze garlands. The ceiling, painted to evoke a sky, as well as the grills of presentation of the bread, still in place, testify to the attention paid to the aesthetics and functionality of the space.

Classified as a Historic Monument, this bakery saw its front and interior decoration protected by a registration order on 23 May 1984. This status underscores the heritage value of a place where traditional crafts and commercial architecture of the Belle Époque era blend together. The location, in the heart of a Parisian neighbourhood that was then undergoing urban transformation, reinforces its historical interest, reflecting the consumption habits and the living environment of Parisians at the beginning of the 20th century.

Available sources, including the Merimée and Monumentum database, confirm the exact address (56 rue Vaneau) and geographical accuracy, assessed as "a priori satisfactory". Although the practical information on visits or current use of the place is not detailed, its protected status guarantees the preservation of this unique artisanal heritage, representative of a time when mouth shops played a central role in Parisian daily life.
