Origin and history

Fine grocery To the mother of the family, located at 35 rue du Faubourg-Montmartre in the 9th arrondissement of Paris, is a historic monument whose front was protected by order of 23 May 1984. This business, still in operation today, illustrates the typical business architecture of the late 19th century, a period marked by the rise of specialized shops and neat signs in the capital. The front, part of the inventory, reflects the aesthetic codes of the time, mixing noble materials and worked decorations to attract a bourgeois clientele.

The location of the grocery store, in the 9th arrondissement, is located in a neighbourhood then undergoing urban transformation under the Second Empire and the Third Republic. This area, close to the Grands Boulevards, concentrated an intense commercial life, with fine grocery stores, cafes and luxury shops. These establishments played a central role in the daily lives of Parisians, offering rare or exotic products to a population seeking refinement. The inscription of the front for historical monuments underlines its heritage importance, both for its style and for its testimony on the commercial practices of the time.

The building, owned by a private company, retains a historic address (35 rue du Faubourg-Montmartre), although GPS coordinates suggest an approximation to 33 on the same street. This minor discrepance does not alter the heritage value of the place, classified with a location accuracy deemed "passible" (note 5/10). No information is available on any individuals related to its foundation or history, or on any significant events taking place there.
