Origin and history

The ice cream factory located at 41 avenue de La Bourdonnais in the 7th arrondissement of Paris was installed in 1903. It is distinguished by a front decorated with tiles of faience illustrating rural landscapes, typical of decorative art of the era. This decor, both functional and aesthetic, reflects the importance attached to the beautification of Parisian shops at the turn of the century, in a neighbourhood that was then undergoing urban transformation.

Classified Historic Monument by order of 23 May 1984, this cream shop is protected for its front and interior decoration. This official recognition recognizes the heritage value of its commercial architecture, characteristic of the first quarter of the twentieth century. The building thus embodies the link between craftsmanship and everyday life, in a Paris where small mouth shops played a central social role.
