Origin and history

The building, located at 75 rue Quincampoix, in the 3rd arrondissement of Paris, is a 17th century building. It is listed in the inventory of Historical Monuments, with a specific protection for its facade and roof on street, formalized by a decree of 12 April 1974. This building illustrates the Parisian civil architecture of this period, marked by often sober but elegant facades, typical of private hotels and related buildings built under the Ancien Régime.

The rue Quincampoix, where this building is located, is emblematic of the Marais, a historic district of Paris. In the seventeenth century, this area was a place of residence popular with the nobility and the rising bourgeoisie, while sheltering artisanal and commercial activities. The buildings of this period reflect this duality, with facades sometimes decorated but also functional structures adapted to urban life. The 1974 protection underlines the heritage importance of this building in the Parisian architectural landscape.

Available data from the Merimée database and Monumentum indicate that the exact address is 75 Quincampoix Street, although GPS coordinates suggest a location close to 77. The accuracy of this location is considered passable (note 5/10), which may indicate minor uncertainties about its exact location. No information shall be provided concerning its access to the public, its current purpose or any interior arrangements.
