Origin and history

The building at 32 rue des Frères-Lion in Toulouse is a typical example of 18th-century civil architecture.

These artistic details illustrate the influence of the aesthetic currents of the period, combining classicism and elegance.

This building is part of the urban history of the Faubourg Saint-Étienne, a growing area in the 18th century thanks to the economic activity generated by the Canal du Midi and the Port Saint-Sauveur. These infrastructures, essential for trade and trade, have promoted the architectural and demographic development of this Toulouse sector. The house, classified as a Historic Monument in 1997 for its façade, bears witness to this past prosperity.

The protection of its façade, formalized by a decree of 3 December 1997, underlines its heritage value.
