Origin and history

The building located at 44 rue du Cherche-Midi, in the 6th arrondissement of Paris, is a historical monument dating back to the 17th and 18th centuries. This building illustrates the Parisian civil architecture of this period, marked by sober facades and internal courtyards organized around a monumental staircase. The protected elements, such as the street and courtyard façades, the roofs, and the stairwell with its ramp, demonstrate the quality of its construction and its heritage importance.

Ranked Historic Monument by order of 12 October 1964, this building is partially protected. The preservation specifically concerns the facade on street and its posterior counterpart, the associated roofs, as well as the facades and roofs of the buildings at the back of the courtyard. Inside, the stairwell, with its ramp, is also protected, highlighting the architectural interest of this traffic space. Course soil is included in this conservation measure, reflecting a desire to preserve site integrity.

The building is now owned by a private company, which limits its accessibility to the public. No information is available regarding any opening to the visit, room rental or use as guest rooms. Its location in the 6th arrondissement, a historic and central district of Paris, reinforces its anchoring in an urban fabric rich in architectural heritage. The accuracy of its geographical location is estimated as fair, based on available data.
