Origin and history

The building, located at 13 rue Tiquetonne, in the 2nd arrondissement of Paris, is an iconic 18th century building. Ranked a Historic Monument, it is distinguished by its first and second floors of facade on street, as well as by its staircase ramp, both protected by a decree of 24 March 1925. These architectural elements bear witness to the style and construction techniques of the period, typical of Parisian mansions and bourgeois buildings.

The location of the building, in the lively neighbourhood of Rue Tiquetonne, reflects the increasing urbanization of Paris in the 18th century. This area, close to the Halles and the major shopping routes, attracted an affluent population, whose urban residences, such as this building, were designed to combine comfort and social representation. The partial listing for Historic Monuments highlights the heritage value of its conserved elements, although their current condition and accessibility are not specified in available sources.
