Timeline

Origin and history

The hotel is a private hotel located at 12 rue Charles V, in the 4th arrondissement of Paris. Built in the 17th century, it embodies the aristocratic residential architecture of this period, marked by elegant facades and interior green spaces. Its entrance gate, garden and facades surrounding the courtyard have been listed as Historic Monuments since 1960, reflecting their heritage value.

The protection of the Hotel d'Aubray by order of 11 February 1960 specifically concerns the gate on street, the garden, the facades overlooking it, as well as the wrought iron staircase ramp. These elements illustrate the care given to the decoration and layout of spaces in Parisian private hotels in the Grand Century. Although little information is available about its occupants or its precise use, its architecture reflects the social prestige associated with this type of residence.

Located in the Marais, a historic district of Paris, the Hôtel d'Aubray is part of an urban fabric rich in 17th and 18th century monuments. Its location, confirmed by the Merimée bases and GPS coordinates, makes it a representative example of the hotels built for the aristocracy or the bourgeoisie affluent under the Old Regime. Today, its state of conservation and its openness to the public are not specified in the available sources.
