Origin and history

The building located at 187 rue Saint-Martin and 1 rue aux Ours, in the 3rd arrondissement of Paris, is an iconic 18th century building. It is part of Quincampoix Saint-Martin, a district marked by a typical architecture of this period. Its facades and roofs on streets were protected by a registration order under the Historic Monuments on 12 April 1974, highlighting their heritage value.

The location of this building, at the intersection of two historic streets, reflects the Parisian urban planning of the eighteenth century, where the buildings were organized around densely built. The Quincampoix Saint-Martin district, known for its commercial and artisanal activities, illustrates the evolution of Paris under the Ancien Régime. The accuracy of its location is estimated as fair (note 5/10), based on available data.

Available sources, including Monumentum and Merimée data, indicate that this building is not open to visit, but its value lies in its preserved architecture. It testifies to construction techniques and decorative styles in vogue in the 18th century, while integrating into the urban fabric of a changing Paris.
