Origin and history

The buildings at 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 of rue d'Amboise, in the 2nd arrondissement of Paris, date from the last quarter of the 18th century. Their construction is part of a period of urban transformation marked by the emergence of a refined civil architecture, reflecting the tastes of the rising bourgeoisie during the reign of Louis XVI. These buildings, although typical of their time, are distinguished by their location in a neighbourhood then undergoing economic and social change.

The facades and roofs of these buildings were included in the inventory of Historic Monuments by an order of 11 August 1975. This protection recognizes their heritage value, linked to their architectural representation of the years 1775-1800, a pivotal period between the Ancien Régime and the French Revolution. The accuracy of their location is estimated as "passable" (note 5/10), based on available data, and their exact address is referenced in the Merimée database under Insee 75102.

No information is provided on their current use, whether it is an opening to the public, a rental of space or a conversion to guest rooms. The available sources, including Monumentum, also do not mention any specific historical characters related to these buildings, nor any significant events that took place there. Their interest lies mainly in their architectural and urban value, bearing witness to the Paris des Lumières.
