Origin and history

The building located at 43 rue Croix-des-Petits-Champs, in the 1st arrondissement of Paris, dates from the 4th quarter of the 17th century. This building illustrates the civil architecture of the late Great Century, a period marked by the rise of private hotels and report buildings in the capital. Its facade, as well as its wrought iron balconies, were protected by a registration order under the Historic Monuments on 13 April 1928.

The location of this building, in a central district of Paris, reflects the city's growing urbanization during the reign of Louis XIV. At that time, the Marais and adjacent neighbourhoods attracted the aristocracy and the bourgeoisie, promoting the construction of buildings combining elegance and functionality. The wrought iron balconies, typical of this period, bear witness to the craftsmanship and taste for ornamentation.
