Origin and history

The shop at 36 rue de Grenelle, in the 7th arrondissement of Paris, dates from the 17th century. It is distinguished by two protected architectural elements: the shop gate and the small chair sign, affixed to the façade of the building. These elements were listed as Historic Monuments by order of 25 April 1959, highlighting their heritage value in the Parisian urban landscape.

The location of this monument, although documented (exact address and GPS coordinates), is considered fair accuracy (note 5/10) according to the criteria of the Merimée base. No additional information is available on its history, its successive owners, or its precise use over the centuries, apart from its official protection.

The 17th century in Paris corresponds to a period of intense architectural and commercial transformation, marked by the emergence of shops and signs as symbols of artisanal and commercial activity. The facades of the buildings, often decorated, reflected the social status of the owners or tenants, while participating in the beautification of the streets. This monument fits into this context, although its specific history remains little documented.
