Origin and history

The building located at 50 rue des Tournelles and 37 boulevard Beaumarchais in the 3rd arrondissement of Paris is a 17th and 18th century building. Its facades and roofs, both on the street and on the courtyard, as well as its wooden staircase with its cage and ramp, testify to the civil architecture of this period. These elements were protected by an inscription under the Historic Monuments on 13 June 1961, highlighting their heritage value.

The location of this building, at the corner of Rue des Tournelles and Boulevard Beaumarchais, reflects modern Parisian urban planning. The neighbourhood, then in the midst of transformation, blended bourgeois habitat and artisanal activities. The street façades, typical of Parisian architecture from the 17th and 18th centuries, illustrate the evolution of styles between classicism and first rococo influences.

The wooden staircase, a remarkable element of the building, is a well preserved example of the domestic interiors of the period. Its specific protection during the 1961 inscription highlights its historical and aesthetic importance. The building, owned by the municipality of Paris, remains a tangible testimony to the architectural and urban history of the capital.

The accuracy of its location, assessed as "a priori satisfactory" (note 6/10), makes it possible to clearly identify its location in the Marais, a neighborhood today famous for its preserved heritage. Available data from the Merimée database and Monumentum confirm its status as a protected monument and its role in the historic Parisian landscape.
