Origin and history

The Hôtel de Saint-Chaumont is a Parisian mansion built in the 2nd quarter of the 18th century. Located in the 2nd arrondissement, it is distinguished by its typical architecture of this period, with facades overlooking Rue Saint-Denis and Boulevard de Sevastopol. These were protected by an inscription at the Historic Monuments in 1925, highlighting their heritage value.

This monument is best known as the birthplace of Jules Michelet (1798–1974), a 19th century historian and major writer. The hotel thus illustrates the link between architectural heritage and French literary memory. Although information on its current use (visits, rentals) is missing from the sources, its central location and history make it an emblematic site of Paris.

Available data indicate an approximate location (level 6/10), with an official address at 226 rue Saint-Denis and a nearby GPS address (10 Way A/2). The building is administratively owned by the municipality of Paris (code Insee 75102), in the Île-de-France region. No information is provided on its accessibility or contemporary functions.
