Origin and history

The building located at 3 rue des Deux-Boules and at 12, 14, 14bis rue Jean-Lantier, in the 1st arrondissement of Paris, is a historical monument whose remarkable elements were protected by arrest in 1974. The facades and roofs, both on the street and on the courtyard, as well as an interior staircase dated the seventeenth century with its wrought iron ramp, testify to its heritage importance. The building illustrates the evolution of Parisian habitat throughout the centuries, although its exact period of construction is not specified in the available sources.

The location of this building, in a central district of Paris, reflects the dense urbanization and architecture characteristic of the French capital. The protections put in place in 1974 underline the historical and aesthetic value of its components, including the 17th century staircase, a rare and representative element of the artisanal know-how of the period. The lack of details of its original use or its occupants leaves room for a general interpretation of its role in the Parisian urban fabric, probably linked to bourgeois housing or commercial activities specific to the Marais and its surroundings.
