Origin and history

The building at 18 rue Saint-Marc, in the 2nd arrondissement of Paris, dates from the 18th century. This building is distinguished by its monumental door, including the vantals, classified as Historic Monument by order of 20 October 1928. This protection highlights an architectural element typical of Parisian urbanism of this time, marked by a desire to embellish and symmetry in facades.

Rue Saint-Marc, located in a central district of Paris, reflects the architectural and social evolution of the capital in the Enlightenment century. At this time, Paris experienced a major urban expansion, with the construction of private hotels and related buildings for a rising bourgeoisie. The monumental doors, like that of this building, were often used to assert the prestige of the owners or to mark the entrance of the wealthy residences.

The information available on this monument comes mainly from the Merimée base and Monumentum. The location of the building is considered "passable" (note of 5/10), indicating an approximation in current geographic data. No information is provided on its accessibility to the public, its current vocation or any remarkable interior developments.
