Origin and history

The house located at 137 rue Vieille-du-Temple and 1 rue de Bretagne, in the 3rd arrondissement of Paris, dates from the second half of the 18th century. This civilian building, typical of the Parisian architecture of the time, was partially protected by a decree of 15 March 1928, which inscribed its facades on the rues Vieille-du-Temple and Brittany, as well as on the courtyard, including the vantaux of the door. These architectural elements reflect the aesthetic and urban codes in force during the reign of Louis XV and Louis XVI, marked by an increasing concern for symmetry and measured ornamentation.

The 3rd arrondissement of Paris, known at the time as the Marais district, was then a residence popular with the nobility and the wealthy bourgeoisie. The houses of this period served as both housing and social status symbols, often incorporating carefully worked interior courtyards and facades. The protection of 1928 underscores the heritage value of this building, a witness to the urban evolution of Paris before the major upheavals of the French Revolution. The precise location of the monument, although noted as "passable" (level 5/10), remains a reference point for the study of the Parisian habitat of the Enlightenment.
