Origin and history

The building located at 111 rue Quincampoix and 19 rue aux Bear, in the 3rd arrondissement of Paris, is a building whose origins date back to the 16th and 18th centuries. Its facades and roofs, characteristic of these architectural periods, were protected by a registration order under the Historic Monuments in 1974. This ranking highlights its heritage interest in a neighborhood marked by medieval and modern history of Paris.

The location of this building, at the intersection of two emblematic Marais streets, reflects the gradual urbanization of this central sector. In the 16th century, the neighbourhood was a home of crafts and commerce, while in the 18th century it became a residence for the rising bourgeoisie. The preserved facades provide an overview of stylistic evolutions between Renaissance and classical times, although the available sources do not specify the original uses of the building.

Current data, from the Merimée database and Monumentum, indicate a "passible" location accuracy (note 5/10), without further details of its history or occupants. The absence of references to characters or events related to the building limits the knowledge of its precise role in local history. Today, there is still a preserved example of the built heritage of Paris, open to outside observation but without information on a possible internal visit or a contemporary reassignment.
