Origin and history

The building located at 8 rue des Lombards in the 4th arrondissement of Paris is an emblematic 17th century building. Ranked a Historical Monument, it illustrates the civil architecture of this period in the historic heart of the capital. Its facades and roofs, as well as those of an appendix projecting in the courtyard, were protected by a decree of 12 April 1974, highlighting their heritage value.

The location of this building, in the medieval district of Halles and close to Rue Saint-Denis, reflects the dense urbanization and commercial importance of Paris in the seventeenth century. At that time, the Marais and its surroundings, including the 4th arrondissement, were home to a merchant bourgeoisie and artisans, while the report buildings multiplied to respond to population growth. This type of building, with its stone facades and dardian roofs, bears witness to architectural standards and privileged materials under the Old Regime.
