Origin and history

The bakery located at 112 rue Saint-Dominique in the 7th arrondissement of Paris is an architectural and artisanal testimony of the early twentieth century. Installed around 1900, it is distinguished by a wood front, painted in fake wood, typical of the stalls of the time. This detail reflects the attention paid to commercial aesthetics in the modern Parisian neighbourhoods.

The interior of the trade is just as remarkable, with a mosaic representing a character related to the harvest, symbol of traditional bakery activities. The ceiling, divided into compartments, is decorated with floral paintings and bucolic landscapes, creating a warm and evocative atmosphere. These decorative elements, combined with the front, led to official protection by order of 23 May 1984, recognizing their heritage value.

The location of this bakery, in a then developing district, illustrates the importance of local shops in Parisian daily life at the turn of the century. Its state of conservation, although partially documented, allows to appreciate the craft techniques and aesthetic trends of the era. The accuracy of its geographic location is assessed as fair, suggesting limitations in the available data for accurate identification.

The inscription under the title of Historical Monuments specifically concerns the front and interior decoration, emphasizing their exceptional character. This status protects these elements from changes that may alter their authenticity. Today, this place remains a rare example of Parisian commercial heritage, offering an overview of the architectural and artistic practices of the early twentieth century.
