Origin and history

The building at 83 rue Quincampoix, in the 3rd arrondissement of Paris, is a 16th and 17th century building. It bears witness to the civil architecture of this period, marked by characteristic facades and roofs. Its inscription as a Historical Monument by decree of 12 April 1974 underlines its heritage importance, especially for its preserved external elements.

Quincampoix Street, located in the Marais district, was in modern times a dynamic place marked by crafts, commerce and intense urban life. The buildings of this period often reflected the prosperity of the owners or corporations, while integrating into a dense urban fabric. This type of building, with its protected facade, illustrates the evolution of constructive techniques and aesthetic tastes between Renaissance and classical times.

Available data indicate that the location of the building is approximate, with an accuracy considered fair (note 5/10). The exact address mentioned in the Merimée base is 83 Quincampoix Street, although GPS coordinates suggest number 85. This minor disparity does not affect the recognition of its heritage status, but recalls the challenges of historical documentation for old buildings in urban areas.
