Origin and history

The house located at 76 rue de Turenne, in the 3rd arrondissement of Paris, dates from the 18th century. This building is distinguished by its preserved architectural elements, including the bas-reliefs of its façade and a wrought iron staircase ramp, characteristic of the craft of this period. These elements were officially recognized and protected by a Registration Order under the Historic Monuments in 1928.

The building is representative of the 18th century Parisian urban planning, a period marked by the beautification of the city under the influence of the Enlightenment. The bourgeois houses of that time, like this one, often included carved decorations and ironwork, symbols of social status and refinement. The location in the Marais, a neighbourhood in the midst of transformation, also reflects the evolution of the lifestyles and architectural aspirations of the Parisian elite.

Today, the house remains a testimony of the Parisian civil heritage, although its current access and uses (visit, rental, etc.) are not specified in the available sources. Its partial protection underlines the importance attached to the preservation of artistic details, even for buildings for initially private use.
