Origin and history

The building located at 37 rue Volta in the 3rd arrondissement of Paris is an iconic 18th century building, representative of the architectural style Louis XV. Its classical ordinance and central helical staircase, organized around a central nucleus, illustrate the aesthetic cannons of the era. The interior distribution, with apartments served on street and courtyard, reflects a rational and elegant design of Parisian private hotels.

The street façade, as well as the staircase with its cage and ramp, were protected by a registration order under the Historic Monuments on 7 December 2000. This ranking highlights remarkable architectural elements, such as the staircase ramp, typical of 18th century artisanal work. Although the precise location is considered mediocre (note 5/10), the official address and GPS coordinates confirm its location in the heart of the Marais, a neighborhood rich in historical heritage.

No information is available on the current use of the building (visits, rentals, etc.), or on any historic owners or sponsors. The sources are limited to the data of the Merimée database and the Monumentum platform, without further details on the past occupants or the transformations experienced by the building over the centuries.
