Origin and history

The house at 1 quai Bourbon and 3 rue des Deux-Ponts, in the 4th arrondissement of Paris, is an 18th-century building. This building, typical of the Parisian civil architecture of that time, was partially classified as a historical monument for its remarkable elements, including the shop grille and the sign 'Au franc Pinot'. These details, characteristic of the artisanal or wine-growing trade of the time, reflect the economic and social activity of the neighbourhood at that time.

The official protection of these elements, by decree of 4 February 1926, underlines their heritage value and their representativeness of the pre-Hhaussmannian Paris. The neighborhood, now known for its historic charm, was then a lively place of life, where shops and workshops played a central role in everyday life. The sign 'Au franc Pinot' evokes a wine tradition or wine trade, a current activity in the capital in the 18th century.

The location of the house, close to the Seine and in a borough rich in heritage, makes it a valuable testimony of Parisian urban planning before the major works of the nineteenth century. Although information about its detailed history or its occupants is scarce, its ranking helps preserve the collective memory of this emblematic neighborhood.
