Origin and history

The bakery-pastry located at 16 rue des Fossés-Saint-Jacques, in the 5th arrondissement of Paris, is a historical monument whose protection is specifically concerned with the front and interior decor. These elements, inscribed by ministerial decree of 23 May 1984, bear witness to the typical commercial architecture of Paris, preserving a craftsmanship and aesthetic style characteristic of their time.

The building is part of the urban landscape of the Latin Quarter, an area marked by its intellectual history and dense architectural heritage. Although details of its exact origin or founder are not mentioned in available sources, its ranking reflects the importance attached to the conservation of traditional businesses, often threatened by modern transformations. These places play a major social and cultural role, serving as meeting points and symbols of Parisian daily life.

The location of this monument, specified as 'satisfactory' (note 6/10) in the Merimée base, corresponds to the official address of 16 rue des Fossés-Saint-Jacques. This street, an ancient medieval way of Paris, concentrates several historic buildings, strengthening the heritage interest of the site. No additional information is available regarding its opening to the public, its possible current functions (visit, rental), or its detailed history before 1984.
