Origin and history

The house located at 8 rue de Saintonge in the 3rd arrondissement of Paris is a 17th-century building. It is distinguished by its sculptures adorning the door on courtyard, characteristic of the civil architecture of this period. These decorative elements, typical of the French classical style, led to its classification as a Historic Monument in 1926.

The inscription under the title of Historical Monuments, effective by decree of 9 January 1926, concerns only 17th century sculptures overtaking the door on court. This detail underlines the heritage importance of these artistic elements, often associated with the beautification of private hotels and bourgeois houses under the Old Regime. The precise location of the house, confirmed by the Merimée bases and GPS coordinates, places the building in the historical district of the Marais, known for its rich architectural heritage.

The practical information available indicates that the accuracy of the location is considered "passable" (note 5/10), without any mention of opening to the public, visiting, or current use (rent, guest rooms). Sources are limited to Monumentum data and internal archives, without reference to owners, architects, or specific historical events related to this building.
