Origin and history

The building located at 51 rue Montorgueil in the 2nd arrondissement of Paris is a report building built at the end of the 18th century. It is distinguished by its pedestrian door top decorated with architectural attributes, typical of the elegance of this period. Since 1730, the building has housed the Stohrer pastry, one of the oldest in Paris, whose wood paneling front and interior decor have been preserved, testifying to the artisanal and artistic know-how of the time.

The front, the street façade and the interior decoration of the pastry were protected by a registration order under the Historic Monuments on 23 May 1984. Inside, canvases fixed under glass, decorated with brush and fruit patterns for the frieze, are attributed to the Thivot decorator of the Wall. These elements illustrate the importance attached to aesthetics and handicrafts in Parisian luxury shops in the 18th century.

The Stohrer Pastry, founded in 1730, is an emblematic example of the establishments that marked the culinary and commercial history of Paris. Its installation in this report building reflects the economic and social dynamics of the Montorgueil neighbourhood, which was then booming. The location, although noted as "passable" in terms of accuracy, remains a point of interest for lovers of architectural and gastronomic heritage.
