Origin and history

The building at 8 rue Caumartin, in the 9th arrondissement of Paris, dates from the 4th quarter of the 18th century. This building illustrates the Parisian civil architecture of the late Ancien Régime, a period marked by an urban boom and a embellishment of facades in bourgeois districts. Its partial inscription (facade and roof) under the Historical Monuments by order of 30 December 1977 underlines its heritage interest, although its exact location is considered "passable" (note 5/10) in the current databases.

Caumartin Street, close to the major boulevards and theatres, is located in a neighborhood undergoing transformation in the 18th century. The buildings of this time often reflect the influence of the Lights' ideas on urban planning, with symmetrical facades and sober decorations. This type of construction usually housed wealthy families or artisans, participating in the economic and social life of an expanding Paris. Today, the building remains a testimony of this heritage, although its access to the public or its contemporary uses are not specified in the available sources.

The protected elements of the building (fall and roof on street) correspond to the AR 21 cadastre, an administrative reference confirming its heritage status. The Creative Commons license associated with his photo in Monumentum indicates a desire for cultural dissemination, but no additional information is provided on any current visits, rentals or functions. The exact address, 8 rue Caumartin, is confirmed by both the Merimée base and the GPS coordinates, despite a geographical accuracy deemed mediocre.
