Origin and history

The building located at 4 rue de l'Elysée, in the 8th arrondissement of Paris, is an emblematic building of the 3rd quarter of the 19th century. Built in 1861, it illustrates the bourgeois residential architecture of the period, typical of the Haussmannian transformations of the capital. Its classification as Historic Monument by order of 22 November 2002 bears witness to its heritage value, both for its style and for its state of conservation.

The architect Adolphe Azémar, project manager, designed this building in a context where Paris was rapidly modernising under the impetus of Baron Haussmann. The facades and interior distribution reflect the aesthetic and social codes of the Parisian bourgeoisie of the Second Empire, combining comfort and representation. The location on the street of the Elysée, close to the political powers, reinforces its prestigious character.

The integral protection of the building (cadastre BP 31) covers all its structure, stressing its importance in the Parisian architectural landscape. Although the practical information about his visit or current use is limited, his status as a Historic Monument guarantees his preservation. Available sources, such as the Merimée and Monumentum base, confirm its exact address and architect, but leave pending details of its contemporary occupation.
