Origin and history

The butcher shop at 6 rue Mouffetard, in the 5th arrondissement of Paris, is an emblematic monument of the last quarter of the 19th century. This trade, whose front was listed as a Historical Monument by order of 23 May 1984, illustrates architecture and the commercial practices of the period. Mouffetard Street, known for its lively market, was then a central place in Parisian daily life, where artisans and traders played a key role in supplying the inhabitants.

The classification of the front of this butcher shop reflects the importance attached to the preservation of architectural and decorative elements related to the history of the trades. At the end of the 19th century, Paris underwent a major urban transformation, but neighbourhoods such as Mouffetard retained their traditional character. The mouth shops, like this butcher shop, were places of sociability and transmission of know-how, essential to local life.
