Origin and history

The bakery located at 108 rue Blomet, in the 15th arrondissement of Paris, is a historic monument built in the 1st quarter of the 20th century. This place is distinguished by its front and interior decoration, characteristic of craftsmanship and commercial architecture of the period. These elements, remarkably preserved, were included in the inventory of Historic Monuments by order of 23 May 1984, highlighting their heritage value and their representativeness of the architectural style of this period.

The building is attributed to two masters mentioned in the sources: Benoist and son (or Benoist and son) and Boulenger. Their intervention reflects the artisanal know-how of the time, combining functionality and aesthetics in a Parisian neighbourhood in the midst of urban transformation. The exact location, although subject to poor accuracy (level 5/10 according to available data), is associated with the official address of 108 Blomet Street, although GPS coordinates suggest an approximation to Maublanc Street.

This monument illustrates the importance of local shops in early 20th century Paris, an era marked by the rise of residential areas and an increasing attention to the beautification of commercial facades. The protection of its front and interior reflects a desire to preserve a heritage that is often neglected but essential to understand the evolution of urban and craft practices in the French capital.
