Origin and history

The building located at 4 rue Le-Regrattier in the 4th arrondissement of Paris is a 17th-century civil building. This monument illustrates the Parisian domestic architecture of this period, marked by sober facades and discreet decorative elements. Although little documented in available sources, its partial listing (coastal door) as Historic Monuments in 1988 demonstrates its heritage value.

The location of this building in the Marais, a historic district of Paris, suggests an origin linked to the aristocratic urbanization of the seventeenth century. At that time, the 4th arrondissement was home to a wealthy population, with private hotels and bourgeois residences. The buildings of this period were often used as housing for noble families or royal officers, reflecting the social prestige of their location and architecture.

The cochère door, the only element protected by the 1988 decree, is a typical example of monumental entrances designed for carriages. These architectural elements were both functional and symbolic, marking access to the inner courtyards of the Parisian buildings. The lack of additional details in the sources limits the precise knowledge of its history and its successive occupants.
