Origin and history

The charcuterie located at 108 rue de Bagnolet, in the 20th arrondissement of Paris, is an emblematic building of the second half of the 19th century. This monument is distinguished by its interior decoration, composed of marble and elements fixed under glass, reflecting the craft and aesthetics of the period. Although its initial use is linked to the activity of charcuterie, its heritage interest lies above all in the quality of its interior fittings, typical of the Parisian shops of this period.

Classified as a Historical Monument by order of 23 May 1984, this charcuterie illustrates the importance attached to the preservation of 19th century commercial decorations. The protection specifically concerns its interior decoration, identified under the reference cadastral 20 : 04 CX 14. Today, the building belongs to a private company, and its access to the public is not specified in the available sources. The location, although known (108 rue de Bagnolet), is estimated with poor accuracy (note 5/10), according to data from the Merimée database.

The historical context of this monument is part of a period of urban and commercial transformation in Paris. The second half of the 19th century, marked by the great Haussmannian works, saw the emergence of shops with neat decors, intended to attract a growing bourgeois clientele. Charcuteries, like other food shops, become places where aesthetics play a key role in valorizing products. This monument thus reflects the evolution of commercial practices and the importance attached to the appearance of retail outlets in modern Paris.
