Origin and history

The horse slaughter at 28 rue Cler, in the 7th arrondissement of Paris, was installed between 1925 and 1930. This trade is distinguished by its openwork cast iron front and its interior covered with white tiles, characteristic of the artisanal signs of the time. These elements, emblematic of the Parisian commercial heritage of the early twentieth century, led to its inscription as Monument Historique by order of 23 May 1984.

The store continued its activity as a horse slaughter until 1987, when it was converted into a pastry shop. This transformation illustrates the evolution of the use of commercial premises in central Paris, while preserving original architectural and decorative elements. The protection relates specifically to the front and interior decoration, highlighting their heritage value.

The location of this butcher shop on Cler Street, a dynamic shopping centre in the 7th arrondissement, reflects the historical importance of the mouth-care trades in this area. Although GPS coordinates and address are accurate, the quality of the database location is considered "passable" (note 5/10), which may indicate limitations in the available geographic documentation. Available sources, including Monumentum, confirm its status as a protected monument and its interest in the history of Parisian commerce.
