Origin and history

The building located at 26, 28 and 30 rue Saint-Germain-l'Auxerrois, in the 1st arrondissement of Paris, is a monument whose facades and roofs on street were protected by an inscription under the title of Historic Monuments. This Order, dated April 12, 1974, underscores the heritage value of this building, although the available sources do not specify its exact time of construction or its architect. Rue Saint-Germain-l'Auxerrois, close to the Louvre and the Seine, is home to a rich architectural heritage.

The buildings of this area, often built between the 17th and 20th centuries, reflect the urban evolution of Paris, between aristocratic private hotels and more recent buildings. This building is part of this landscape, reflecting the transformations of the capital, especially after the major Haussmannian works. Its partial classification (façades and roofs) suggests a desire to preserve the visual harmony of the street, characteristic of the policies of protection of Parisian heritage in the middle of the twentieth century.
