Origin and history

The building at 1bis rue d'Athens, in the 9th arrondissement of Paris, is an emblematic 19th century building. Its construction is part of the urban development of the capital under the Second Empire and the Third Republic, periods marked by a radical transformation of the Parisian landscape under the impetus of Baron Haussmann. The facades and the roof on street, characteristic of the Haussmannian architecture, were protected by an inscription order under the Historical Monuments on December 30, 1977.

The location of this building, in a central district of Paris, reflects the expansion and densification of the city in the 19th century. At that time, Paris became a model of modern urban planning, with its large boulevards, report buildings and aligned facades. These buildings, often intended for the rising bourgeoisie, symbolize prestige and new comfort, while meeting the needs of a growing population. The inscription of its architectural elements underscores their heritage value and representativity of this pivotal period.

Available data from the Merimée database and Monumentum indicate that the accuracy of its location is considered fair (note 5/10), probably due to the limitations of GPS coordinates or historical sources. No information is provided on its accessibility to the public, whether it be visits, room rental or accommodation. The exact address, confirmed by official sources, remains the 1bis street of Athens, in a neighborhood today dynamic and rich in architectural heritage.
