Origin and history

The building located at 2 rue Saint-Germain-l'Auxerrois and 1 rue des Lavandières-Sainte-Opportune, in the 1st arrondissement of Paris, is a building whose oldest parts date back to the 17th century, with significant changes in the 19th century. Its facades and roofs on streets were protected by an inscription under the title of Historic Monuments on April 12, 1974, highlighting its heritage interest in the Parisian urban landscape.

The location of this building, close to Saint-Germain-l'Auxerrois Cathedral and in a neighborhood marked by the medieval and modern history of Paris, makes it an architectural element representative of the transformations of the capital. The surrounding streets, such as Rue des Lavandières-Sainte-Opportune, evoke ancient artisanal activities typical of the central districts before the major Haussmannian works.

The information available indicates that the building is not open to visit, but its protection reflects the desire to preserve characteristic elements of the Parisian habitat of the 17th and 19th centuries. The accuracy of its location is considered "passable" (note 5/10), suggesting minor uncertainties about its exact location in heritage databases.
