Origin and history

The building located 3 square of the Parliament in Bordeaux is part of a homogeneous architectural complex of the eighteenth century, characteristic of the Bordeaux town planning of the time. The square, formerly called Place du Marché Royal, forms an irregular quadrilateral where the buildings share a common ordinance: a commercial ground floor, two noble floors, and a third treatise in attic. The ensemble is crowned by a balustrade cornice and a attic, all made of cut stone. The keys of yousures, decorated with carved masks and shells, as well as the wrought iron balconies highlight the refinement of the decoration.

The building was built in 1754, according to historical sources. Its façade and roof were protected by a registration order under the Historic Monuments on 17 April 1952, thereby recognizing its heritage value. The building illustrates the influence of classical French architectural models in Bordeaux des Lumières, a period marked by an economic boom linked to maritime and wine trade.

The exact address, 3 place du Parlement (33000 Bordeaux), corresponds to the Insee 33063 code of the commune, located in Gironde (New Aquitaine region). Although the practical information on current visits or uses is not detailed, the monument remains a major testimony of Bordeaux's urban history, where local crafts (sculptures, ironwork) blend with the aesthetic ambitions of the commercial elite of the time.
