Origin and history

The cream factory at 6 rue du Pont-Louis-Philippe, in the 4th arrondissement of Paris, is an architectural and commercial testimony of the first quarter of the 20th century. This historic monument is distinguished by its front and interior decoration, protected by a registration order dated 23 May 1984. These elements reflect the craftsmanship and decorative styles of this period, where mouth shops played a central role in Parisian daily life.

The location of this monument, in the historical district of the Marais, is part of an urban context that was undergoing a transformation in the early twentieth century. At that time, Paris experienced a modernization of its infrastructure and a diversification of its commercial activities, while retaining traces of its artisanal heritage. Cream shops, like this one, were essential places to supply dairy and cheese products, often held by local families or artisans.

The inscription of the front and interior decoration as protected elements underscores their heritage value. These protections aim to preserve the architectural and aesthetic characteristics that illustrate the know-how of the artisans of the time. The building, owned by the municipality of Paris, remains a representative example of the traditional businesses that marked the economic and social history of the capital.

Available information indicates that the accuracy of the location is considered fair (note 5/10), which may reflect minor uncertainties in the exact coordinates. However, the official address, confirmed by the Merimée database, clearly identifies the site. No information is provided on the current accessibility of the site, whether it be visits, rentals or other uses.

The Creative Commons license associated with the photo of the monument, attributed to a certain Oderik, suggests that visual representations of the creamery are available to the public. Finally, the absence of specific references to historical characters or events related to this trade limits additional biographical or contextual details. The protection of this heritage is part of a broader approach to preserving the material traces of Parisian life at the beginning of the 20th century.
