Origin and history

The building located at 6 rue Saint-Florentin, in the 1st arrondissement of Paris, dates from the 1st quarter of the 19th century. This period corresponds to a phase of reconstruction and beautification of the capital, marked by the Napoleonic architectural heritage and monarchy restoration. The building, though modest in the available archives, illustrates the aesthetic canons of the time, combining classicism and urban innovations.

The protection of its façade and roof by order of 1 June 1962 underlines its heritage interest. By that date, Paris was pursuing an active policy of preserving its historic centre, threatened by the urban transformations of the Thirty Glories. The building, although little documented, is part of this movement to safeguard the built environment of the early 19th century.

Available sources (Monumentum, Merimée base) indicate a precise location, but do not provide details about its occupants or its original use. The address, confirmed by GPS coordinates, corresponds to a neighbourhood that was then changing, close to the Palais-Royal and political institutions. The Creative Commons license associated with his photo suggests a contemporary documentary interest.
