Origin and history

The building at 10 rue de l'Odéon, in the 6th arrondissement of Paris, dates from the 4th quarter of the 18th century. This building is representative of the Parisian civil architecture of the end of the Ancien Régime, a period marked by an urban boom and a embellishment of facades in the central districts. Its protected elements, namely the facades on street and courtyard and the roofs, were inscribed by ministerial decree in 1947, highlighting their heritage value and their remarkable state of conservation for the time.

The location of this building, in a central district of Paris, reflects the growing importance of this sector in the 18th century, then in full transformation under the influence of bourgeois and aristocratic elites. The facades, often designed to display the social status of the owners, were a key element of the Parisian architectural identity. The designation of Historic Monuments in 1947 reflects the post-Second World War commitment to preserve built heritage, in a context where urban modernization threatened many old buildings.
