Origin and history

The building at 30 rue Caumartin and 8 rue Boudreau, in the 9th arrondissement of Paris, dates from the first half of the 19th century. This building illustrates the Parisian civil architecture of this period, marked by increasing urbanization and often harmonized facades to reflect the prestige of the central districts. Its facades and roofs on the street were protected by a registration order under the Historical Monuments on December 30, 1977, highlighting their heritage value.

The location of this building, close to the major boulevards and the growing commercial areas in the 19th century, makes it a witness to the urban evolution of Paris under the July monarchy and the Second Empire. At that time, the 9th arrondissement, then in full transformation, attracted an affluent bourgeoisie and activities related to trade, finance and leisure. The buildings of this period were designed to combine residential functionality with social representation, with often decorated facades and interior distributions adapted to the lifestyles of the Parisian elite.

Available data from the Merimée database and Monumentum indicate that the exact address is shared between Caumartin Street and Boudreau Street. The accuracy of its geographic location is estimated as "passible" (note 5/10), which may reflect minor uncertainties about the exact boundaries of the protected property. No information is provided on its current accessibility to the public, its residential purpose or any reassignment to cultural or commercial space.
