Origin and history

The building located at 165 rue Saint-Martin, in the 3rd arrondissement of Paris, is a 17th century building. It is listed as a Historical Monument, with a specific protection covering its façade and roof on street, formalized by a decree of 12 April 1974. This building illustrates the Parisian civil architecture of this period, marked by often sober but elegant facades, typical of mansions and bourgeois buildings of the period.

The location of this building, in the Marais district, reflects the gradual urbanization of Paris under the Ancien Régime. At that time, the 3rd arrondissement was a privileged place of residence for the nobility and the rising bourgeoisie, attracted by the proximity of royal power and economic centres. The buildings of this period served as both housing and social status symbols, often incorporating discrete but refined decorative elements.

Available data indicate that the accuracy of the current location is considered "passable" (note 5/10), suggesting possible uncertainty about its exact location in the archives. No information is provided on its contemporary use, whether it is an opening to the public, a space rental or a conversion into guest rooms. Sources only mention its protected status and historical address.
