Timeline

Origin and history

The house located at 78 rue de Charonne, in the 11th arrondissement of Paris, is a characteristic 17th century civil architectural testimony. Built in the first half of this century, it is distinguished by its status as a gable angle house, a rare typology for the time in the capital. Its existence is formally attested by a document dated 1642, making it a valuable vestige of the Parisian urban planning of the Ancien Régime.

Ranked among the Historical Monuments, this house was partially protected by decree of 5 September 1997, specifically covering its facades and roofs. Its inscription in the title of historical monuments underscores its heritage interest, especially for its style representative of the bourgeois or artisanal habitat of the 17th century Paris. The location, at the corner of Rue de Charonne and Rue Saint-Bernard, reinforces its importance in the historical urban fabric of the area.

The available sources, including the Merimée and Monumentum base, specify that the house is still located at its original address, without any major modification of its location since its construction. Although information on its original use or historical occupants is lacking, its architecture and legal protection make it a key element of the Parisian heritage. The accuracy of its location is assessed as "a priori satisfactory" (note 6/10), confirming its anchoring in the current landscape.
