Timeline

Origin and history

The Hotel de Furstemberg is a historic monument located in the 6th arrondissement of Paris, at 3, 5 and 7 rue de l'Abbaye. This building, whose architectural complex includes a courtyard and a garden, was classified by ministerial decree on October 9, 1959. Today, it belongs to a private company, which limits its access to the public, although its precise location is documented on official bases like Mérimée.

The accuracy of its location is considered satisfactory (note 7/10), and its GPS coordinates place it at 3 Bis on the same street. This type of private hotel, typical of Parisian urban planning, often reflects the history of local elites and their relationship to urban space. Private hotels like this were both a residence and a symbol of prestige for their owners.

Available sources, including Monumentum, highlight its protected status, but do not provide details of its origin, sponsors or precise historical use. The absence of a period defined in the data makes it difficult to contextualize further, although its architecture and location suggest integration into the historical fabric of the Saint-Germain-des-Prés district.

The mention of a possible rental of rooms or guest rooms indicates a contemporary reuse of the place, common for classified private monuments. However, no information confirms these current uses. The associated photo, licensed under Creative Commons, shows a documentary interest in this heritage, often unknown to the general public.

The Insee code of the municipality (75106) and its attachment to the Île-de-France recall the administrative and cultural importance of Paris in preserving its heritage. The approximate address from the GPS and the official address in Mérimée sometimes reveal minor discrepancies, frequent in historical databases.

Finally, the protection of the hotel includes both the building, its courtyard and its garden, highlighting the overall value of this type of property. These elements, typical of Parisian private hotels, were designed to offer privacy and aesthetics, while marking an aristocratic or bourgeois presence in the city.
