Origin and history

The building at 20 rue Cambon, in the 1st arrondissement of Paris, dates from the first half of the 19th century. This building, representative of the Parisian architecture of that period, is distinguished by its facade and roof, protected by a decree of inscription under the title of Historical Monuments since 23 October 1980. These architectural elements, characteristic of the Haussmannian or pre-Hhaussmannian style, testify to the urban transformations of Paris under the Restoration or the Monarchy of July.

The location of the building, in a central and historic district of Paris, suggests its integration into a rapidly changing urban fabric in the 19th century. At that time, the 1st arrondissement was a place of power, commerce and bourgeois residence, where the facades of the buildings reflected the social status of their owners. The partial inscription of the building (facade and roof only) indicates a desire to preserve emblematic elements while allowing a modern adaptation of the interior, now owned by a private company.

Available sources, including the Merimée and Monumentum base, confirm the exact address and heritage protection of the building. However, little information is provided on its historical use or occupants. The location accuracy, assessed as "passable" (note 5/10), suggests minor uncertainties on GPS coordinates, although the postal address is clearly identified. No mention is made of its current accessibility to the public, whether it be visits, rentals or accommodation.
