Origin and history

The buildings at 175 and 177 rue Saint-Martin, in the 3rd arrondissement of Paris, date from the 17th century. Their architecture reflects the urban style of this period, marked by the expansion of the city under the Old Regime. These buildings, although partially modified over the centuries, retain characteristic elements of their time, particularly in terms of facades and roofs.

Classified Historic Monuments by order of 12 April 1974, these buildings enjoy specific protection regarding their facade and roof on street. This official recognition underscores their heritage value in a historical area, close to the Marais and medieval Halles. Their location, at the precise address of 175-177 rue Saint-Martin, makes them witnesses to the urban evolution of Paris.

The Rue Saint-Martin, the major artery of historic Paris, was in modern times a dynamic commercial and artisanal axis. The buildings on this street often illustrated the mix of functions, housing both housing, workshops and shops. Their preservation now allows us to study the construction techniques and lifestyles of the seventeenth century in the capital.

Available data, notably from the Merimée database and Monumentum, indicate an approximate location confirmed by GPS coordinates. However, the accuracy of this location is considered to be poor (note 5/10), which may reflect minor uncertainties about the exact right-of-way of protected buildings. No information is provided on their current accessibility or contemporary use.
