Origin and history

The charcuterie, located at 75 rue Amelot, in the 11th arrondissement of Paris, is a historic monument whose front and interior decoration were protected by a registration order in 1984. This place illustrates the typical 19th and 20th century commercial architecture, a period during which Parisian shops were distinguished by neat signs and interior fittings, reflecting both local craftsmanship and changes in commercial practices.

The building was built under the direction of Thivet, identified as a masterpiece in the archives. Although the precise details of its construction or its daily history are not documented in the available sources, its ranking reflects its heritage importance. The location, noted with a precision deemed "very satisfactory" (note 8/10), confirms its anchoring in the neighborhood, known for its artisanal and commercial dynamism since the 19th century.

The protected elements, namely the front and interior decoration, are representative of the decorative techniques and styles of the time. These characteristics make it a remarkable example of the Parisian heritage linked to the crafts of mouth, often threatened by urban transformations. Charcuterie is thus part of a broader tradition of preserving historic shops, essential to the collective memory and identity of Parisian neighbourhoods.
