Origin and history

The building located at 24 rue des Bourdonnais in the 1st arrondissement of Paris is a 17th-century building. This building, typical of the Parisian civil architecture of that time, is distinguished by its facades and roofs on street, which were officially protected by a registration order under the Historical Monuments on 12 April 1974. Its precise location, although noted as "passable" (level 5/10) in the heritage databases, remains a testimony of the town planning of the neighborhood under the Old Regime.

The 17th century marked a period of intense urban transformation in Paris, with the construction of many private hotels and related buildings for a growing bourgeoisie. These buildings, often organised around inner courtyards or gardens, reflected the social status of their owners while meeting the needs of an expanding city. The building on Rue des Bourdonnais is in this context, although the available archives do not specify its sponsor or its original use (residential, commercial or mixed).

Today, the building is listed in the Mérimée base under the code Insee 75101, corresponding to the municipality of Paris. Its exact address, confirmed by GPS coordinates, attests to its presence in a historical area near the Louvre and the Halles. The protections applied in 1974 aim to preserve the external elements visible from the public highway, thus highlighting its heritage value in the Parisian landscape. No information is available about its access to the public, any tourist vocation or related services (rent, visits).
